So long as a licensed machine gun manufacturer is making them they are perfectly legal to make as I recall. The ones made now can only go to other dealers and such, or LE or .gov agencies, but still.

I guess it would be legal if you didn't have an AR in the house?

I saw that same ad in the SGN and the first thing I thought of was that it was placed by our friendly gub'mint JBTs.
I wonder how many fools ordered one expecting to see the Big Brown Truck and instead have a big black sedan show up? "We're from the Government and we're here to help." |

The ATF has changed the ruling on thes several times. when they first came out it was legal to own one as long as it was not installed in a AR. Then they changed the rules and said as long as the AR did not have M16 parts installed and it was not installed it was OK. Then in 1986 they made classed "IT" alone as a machine IF it was post 1986 manufacture. PRE 86 are legal to own. These that the guy in Shotgun News is selling are pre 86 manf. He made a bunch up and is still selling them out of built up stock. When they first were offered for sale they sold for 49.99. MANY years ago. |

Are these things literally "drop in" meaning you don't have to have the select fire hole in your receiver? I wouldn't "drop in" any fire control parts in my rifle; it seems like parts just sitting in there is asking for mechanical trouble as well as legal trouble.
Maybe I'm biased cause there's no way in hell I could afford to feed a full auto gun even if I wanted one. |

They would still have to have a serial number and be registered.

Here is what I learned when investigating this topic once before:
It is completely legal to own a PRE-81 DIAS without registering it. You can carry it in your pocket, wear it around your neck on a chain or make a pair of cuff links out of it. BUT BE WARNED! You are not allowed to own or purchase a AR-15. It is a crime to own a unregistered PRE-81 DIAS & a AR-15... To be legal you have to buy a registered DIAS or RDIAS as it is often referred to. These are worth alot more than $275 because they CAN be owned in conjunction with a AR15... I have heard that J.A.M. Enterprises is a ATF sting operation but that is just people's opinions. LB |

+1 In the latest shotgun news (has build your own AK, and a RPG article as well, I believe Oct. edition) there's another company selling Drop in auto sear for $125. Ad states: no ffl required, send money order. Says nothing about NFA rules applying. Unfortunately if it's too good to be true it probably is. |

If that was true then he could sell them for 10x that price and ALL of his inventory would be gone within days... REAL REGISTERED Drop In Auto Sears are currently listed on other boards for $12,500 and $10,500. I dont know if they are selling though... I know several that have sold for $6500 - $8500 range...

Please don't spread misinformation that could send gullible people to federal prison. The BATF classified drop-in auto sears as machineguns way before May 1986. In order to use them legally, people had to register them with the BATF and stamp a serial number on them. If their serial number isn't listed in the NFA registry (and these $275 ones are NOT), then you cannot legally use them in an AR-15, even if they are "pre-81". Why do you think that legal ones are currently selling for well over $10,000? The ONLY legal use for these $275 sears would be for someone who has a registered M16 that uses a drop-in auto sear instead of a mil-spec auto sear. These unmarked sears were "married" to the registered lower. If one of the original drop-in auto sears in this specific example were to break, these newer sears could legally be used to replace the defective one. But you sure as hell can't build a new M16 today with these. |

Actually I was wrong on date. it is Nov 1981. Here's the info off the ATF page. Held: The auto sear known by various trade names including "AR15 Auto Sear," "Drop In Auto Sear," and "Auto Sear II," is a combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon to shoot automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. Consequently, the auto sear is a machine gun as defined by 26 U.S.C. 5845(b). With respect to the machine gun classification of the auto sear under the National Firearms Act, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 7805(b), this ruling will not be appliedo t auto sears manufactured before November 1, 1981. Accordingly, auto sears manufactured on or after November 1, 1981, will be subject to all the provisions of the National Firearms Act and 27 C.F.R. Part 179. [ATFQB 1981 -3 78] Then they add a editors note that states as I said "Any date with all parts count as a Machinegun." So even if you hsvr a pre nov 1 1981 unit if you have M16 parts you can go to the pen. Editor's Note Regardless of the date of manufacture of a drop in auto sear, possession of such a sear and certain M-16 fire control parts is possession of a machine gun as defined by the NFA. Specifically, these parts are a combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machine gun and are a machine gun as defined in the NFA. (See "Important Information Concerning AR15-Type Rifles” under “Items of Interest” in this publication.) |

I find it curious that as long as that ad had been in SGN (how many years now?), and as many times as I've heard "It's the ATF"... I've never once heard tale of an arrest being made.

What's the difference between a RDIAS and an M16 sear? I assume the RDIAS works with AR FCG parts, and the M16 sear would need to be used in conjunction with ALL M16 specific parts. Is this correct?

If you want something close to full auto get the Gattaling gun trigger add on.

There are 2 ads in SG News for DIAS, SU-PRESS-ON has them for $105.
I have know a couple of people who have ordered them and they are still with us. They are considered an illegal machine gun in IN and IL. Is it really worth it? |

First off let me say that I don't understand any NFA laws except that you can't own a FA unless you pay a lot of money...
That being said, you guys talk alot about getting locked up if you buy and install an unregistered FA SEAR. How often do your rifles get "searched" by the ATF? Do agents hang out at the range or something and wait for someone to show up with something illegal? I know that when you have a Class 4 or 3 license that they can show up at your house and inspect your arsenal. |

|
Posted: 9/25/2005 8:45:06 AM EDT

Incorrect There is no such thing as a class 3 or 4 license And no, the ATF can not show up at your house to search. They dont even have to know where in the state the firearms are...just which state they are in And you can get into the NFA game for less then 3 grand |

So what you guys are saying is that I should cancel my order ?
 I also*think* that if you are registered with the ATF to legally own machine guns the ATF CAN come over to your house and make sure your machine guns are properly secured in a safe. |

So it's OK to sell meth to little kids, right? DEA doesn't hang around your house, or by grade schools. As for the entrapment issue, that ad would NOT be entrapment. If you were going to buy the sear from the ad, you were most likely going to buy one anyway. As long as they don't pressure you into doing something you normally wouldn't have done, it's a legal bust. If a guy keeps bothering you at a gunshow, and pestering you to buy one after you've said no, and the conversation pretty much ends in "I'll buy the damned thing if you'll leave me alone", then that'd be entrapment. |

The Court instructs the jury that where a person has no previous intent or purpose to violate the law, but is induced or persuaded by law enforcement officers or their agents to commit a crime, he is a victim of entrapment and the law as a matter of policy forbids his conviction in such a case. On the other hand, where a person already has the readiness and willingness to break the law, the mere fact that the state law enforcement agents provided what appears to be a favorable opportunity is not entrapment. (For example, when the state law enforcement agents suspect that a person is engaged in the illicit sale of narcotics, it is not entrapment for a state law enforcement agent to pretend to be someone else and to offer, either directly or through an informer or other decoy, to purchase narcotics from the suspected person). If, then, the jury should find beyond a reasonable doubt from the evidence in the case that: before anything at all occurred respecting the alleged offense involved in this case, that the defendant was ready and willing to commit [a] crime such as are charged in the indictment, whenever an opportunity to commit such [a] crime were afforded, and that state law enforcement or their agents did no more than offer the opportunity to commit such [a] crime, then the jury should find that the defendant is not a victim of entrapment. On the other hand, if the evidence in the case should leave you with a reasonable doubt whether the defendant had the previous intent or purpose to commit an offense of the character charged, apart from the inducement or persuasion of some officer or agent of the state, then it is your duty to find him not guilty.
Lesson here. Buying one of those auto sears, is not entrapment. |
