I was worried that my Hesse M16 I bought last week was illegal after the discussion on this board. The BATF sent two agents to my house within 15 minunts of the call I made. They demanded to see the rifle and about two seconds later they told my that it was illegal and they asked who I purchased it from. I showed them my reciept and they said that they had had other reports of that man selling Sten MK-IIs that he built himself at the same gun show for $750. They then told me no charges would be filed since I cooperated, told the truth, and
turned in the man who sold it to me. They also told me that for a reward I could keep the rifle if I paid THEM the transfer tax and gave them the rifle until my stamp came in the mail (provided I could get a cheif LEO to sign off). They also told my that the dealer who sold me the rifle would have to return the $1200 I gave him for the rifle. So, I thanked them, gave them my rifle for the time being, visited my CLEO, and got the papers signed! So for all you that think I am a TROLL, I am NOT. But I did just screw the ATF into giving my a post sample M-16 for $200!
