1.) No.
2.) No, unless the conversion was by some method that did not involve drilling the receiver for an autosear. If its milled and drilled for an autosear, it cannot revert to semiauto status. |

sparkyCG,
A factory-built machinegun is not a verifiable 922(v)(2) exempt 921(a)(30) assault weapon because it has always been a machine gun, never a semi-automatic assault weapon. Once a semi-automatic weapon is converted into a machinegun, it too can't ever be a verifiable 922(v)(2) exempt 921(a)(30) assault weapon because it has been a machine gun, and once a machine gun, always a machine gun. |

I appreciate the fact that you seem to be trying to follow the law, and are being honest to ask for REAL, legal info. As a rule, we usually do not discuss "conversions" and such on this website. I suggest that for your own safety, you should contact the BATF on such matters. I personally would never trust anyone else's "info" when it comes to these matters.
Hope this helps! [:)][url]http://www.atf.treas.gov/[/url] Tyler |

To answer the questions:
1986 was the last year that machine guns could be registered/made transferable, except for LEO and/or government use. And only a licensed manufacturer with an SOT can make these "post-sample" machine guns. If a hypothetical AR lower was drilled for an autosear without being accompanied by NFA paperwork (i.e., a tax stamp), then it was and will remain an illegal machine gun. It cannot legally be made into a non-machinegun. It was not, and is not, a grandfathered "assault weapon." [url]www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/faq/index.htm[/url] -Troy |

Quoted: 2.) No, unless the conversion was by some method that did not involve drilling the receiver for an autosear. If its milled and drilled for an autosear, it cannot revert to semiauto status. Anyone have a picture of what a drilled receiver looks like? I'm assuming the hole left when a Colt sear block is removed, is not considered drilled for a sear? |

No, an autosear hole is smaller, higher on the receiver, and goes through both sides.
