No.  They are all post-86 machineguns.

the glock 18 did not exist before the ban, and the glock 17 was only imported for a few months before it went into effect.

the possibility exists that someone had a *chance* to get a G17, study it, file form 1's, and convert, but the timeline is extremely tight. there has been tale told for many years that there are a few transferable G17's in the registry, but nobody has ever been able to back up that claim.

Yes, Glock made them before 1986.



The question you really wanted to ask was were they made in the US BEFORE 5/19/86 (NO), or were they imported before 12/1/68 (NO.)

Anyone with prints of the G18 could roll that back to the G17 sear... I do not know how many were done - but maybe a year ago I saw a G17 MG listed for $40k - sure would assume that would be a pre-86 transferable for that price (since a G18 runs $600 or so)
