[ARCHIVED THREAD] - If the NFA was repealed would you convert your "assualt rifles"? (Page 1 of 3)

If there was no law against owning full autos, no tax, no registration, no forms, nothing not even state laws how many here would convert all or at least most of thier guns back to the originally planed capabilities of the firearm?

Every single one.

Sounds like a TARP!!!

I wouldn't have to convert an assault rifle.

Assault is a behavior not a device.

Assault is almost always done by people from the political left.

You can shit in one hand and wish in the other, see wich one fills up faster.

But hypothetically, all of them.

I might consider an SBR and some suppressors, but I have no use for a full auto. Even if I did, I couldn't afford the ammo.

SKS wouldn't.

AK may or may not.

Why not? Happy switch on every firearm I own sounds just fine to me.

My MP5 clone for sure...

Better to have and not need than to need and not have.

Happy switch, FTW.

You really wouldn't if you could legally? I mean converting the guns if it was legal would cost next to nothing and having it doesn't mean you need to use it. I just can't see anyone turning down the capability.

I'd probably convert one of my ARs, and buy a 10-22 to convert.

Posted: 9/11/2010 9:27:40 PM EDT

[#17]

A small percentage of my collection, strictly for defensive reasons. The rest would remain semi to save ammo and to save on firearm life.

Oh, and what is an assault rifle anyways?

Posted: 9/11/2010 9:28:08 PM EDT

If I am still buying my own ammo then screw full auto. OTOH every last one will have a suppressor though. Especially the Mosin.

ETA: didn't read the whole OP. I was thinking about a total NFA (Class III) repeal.

Your saying if they were all full auto you couldn't control yourself?

I might do one just to have it but its not as much fun when you have to buy your own ammo...

I wonder what a FN MAG/240B would cost on the civilian market.

Meh... You'd have to get rid of the GCA of 1968 and the import ban of 89 to really get the effect you are looking for.

If the trifecta were repealed, I'd head down to Walmart and get a new MP5 and a couple of cases of 9mm. Why convert when you would be able to buy a whole machine gun at a fair price again?

I guess I'm wondering if the NFA and other laws against full auto never existed would we still have semi auto M4gery's and M-16A1 clones?

I don't own guns. It's for the children.

about the same as a RR m16 does now if they sold for the same price the military gets them for IIRC

Why not?

Need training and discipline. Availability of full auto would subconsciously make me lose focus on shot placement thus making me like third world idiots. If I had training and experience under pressure then sure. But I don't.

Because of the millions already owned now that are semi.

Since practically all full auto firearms have a semi- setting, I can't see why you wouldn't go FA with them all. It's not like you're losing semi-auto capability.

No, it is just an unneeded option. If I did convert a firearm, I would want to get my money out of the cost of the conversion, thus shooting on full auto. If I don't ever plan on using it for full auto, why would I ever convert it in the first place. The reason to not convert it is to save ammo and to save on lifespan.

Uhh duh, shit man I'd convert a glock or two to full auto while I'm at it.

Select fire slide cover plates are cheap and 15 seconds to install and remove. No reason not to have one around without the NFA34 (or FOPA86.)

This.

As inexpensive as it might be to convert, it would add up quickly. Every auto loading rifle I bought after that would definitely have a giggle switch, though.

If it was leagel I would, but only really use it w/ .22's or 7.62x39.

i would do it asap

As soon as possible.

i dont have any assault rifles.

All my AR15 work just fine how they are.. I my buy a11.5 upper for a truck/HD carbine but 3 round burst/full auto is not something I want..

Posted: 9/11/2010 10:14:26 PM EDT

[#50]

I would probably have one. On the other hand, I would SBR/SBS or supress ALL of them.
