Can a full auto trigger pack from an MP5 just drop into a Bobcat or other clone and readily function? Is machining done to make it perform as it should when switched from a factory HK subgun to an after-market clone? |

If it is a NFA registered sear in a full auto trigger pack and the host weapon has a full auto bolt carrier then yes you should be able to drop it in any host and it will run without further modification to the host weapon. |
Registered sears are actually NO caliber, a sear has no bore and hence no caliber. "Registered In All 3 Calibers" is a sales line, means nothing. You can use your registered sear in ANY caliber you can make it work in. Back in the days of Form 1 machine guns, people saw a "caliber" field on the form and erroneously thought they had to decide on a caliber for the gun in which the sear would be used right then. The forms were of course accepted because it really didn't matter what you put in there for a sear and people took that to mean the sear's use was locked into that caliber. The correct entry for transers involving registered sears was and still is "N/A" because there is no caliber associated with a sear. |
This 3 caliber registration came about not because of F1 registrations but because there was a fear that ATF would limit HK sears to specific calibers. Remember, prior to the HK and M16 sears being registered as NFA MGs, the only thing close to a drop in conversion were the M2 carbine conversion kits. Since the M16 DIAS only had .223 uppers then, the HK sears were registered in multiple calibers as a CYA. There were also lots of suppressor tubes registered too (without guts) as some manufacturers were afraid of a suppressor ban. As for a registered pack working in a clone, I find most of them have the clip on shelf done too low and need shimming so it'll work correctly. |
After you gather $13,000 to $15,000, go here and find one or put out a WTB post. www.sturmgewehr.com/ or here Subguns.com |
