Class III Newbie

[Kahuna_Kennen]

So, I am sittin' here and wonderin' what it would take, for when I'm old enough, to own "Class III" weapons like an auto AK-47 and an M-16.

I'm hearin' all things things like an FFL and other licenses I may need but I'm not sure how they apply.

Any help?

(and my apologizes if there is already a topic up)

MONEY. Lots of it. That's it.

Also, don't commit any felonies.

 

[Kahuna_Kennen]

LOL! I'm joinin' the Marines when I'm old enough, not gonna screw up.

What are full auto prices like right now? I feel like its somewhere in the neighborhood of $12-20,000

Last I looked ~12K for M16 (non colt) or AK. 21 yrs old.

 

[Kahuna_Kennen]

Yeah. The lowest price for an auto is for somethin' like the Mac-10, I think it was. 6-8,000 bucks. But, I'm settin' my sights high for the future, and I won't be put down.

Nevermind the gun- think of the cost of ammunition!!

 

[Kahuna_Kennen]

Shoot. I was lookin' through some ads and found a Minigun. ROFL Jesus, the ammo costs.

Don't forget about patience as well. ATF is taking their sweet time processing those mountains of forms, currently.

Your answer is to decide how much you want to spend then come back to us for help when you have cash in hand. Anyone of us will be happy to help once you are ready to actually buy something. It's not difficult and you don't need an FFL or any special licenses.

On the low end, $4,000 will buy you a full auto MAC. On the high end, $20k will buy you an MP5.

I would recommend starting off Class 3 with something cheap like a silencer or short bbl rifle.

 

[Kahuna_Kennen]

Ok, but isn't there some other license I need to purchase Class III, if not an FFL? Or is it fine in this state because of the laws. I, personally, can not buy a gun myself for the fact that I'll only be 16 on the 17th of Nov.

So, I'd have to talk to the parents, but cash will probably be no prob.

No, you do not need a "license" to own class III stuff. You do have to have a license to manufacture new ones, or purchase the post-86 dealer samples.

Your parents can legally buy whatever class III stuff they want, if they have the money and are not felons (in the eyes of the ATF), but you cannot legally possess them, unless they form an LLC or go the trust route when purchasing said C3 items. When doing the "normal" form 4 purchase of a C3 item, the person it is registered to is the sole person who can have access to it. I do not know the legalities of a person under the age of 21 being on a trust or LLC, and the said items being in their possession. I can just imagine the potential problems (read: Headaches) that would ensue if someone sees a 15/16 year old at the range with a full auto suppressed MAC.

You can legally buy one at 18 if you have the cash. Come back in two years and ask us how.

That's IF in two years the current laws haven't changed.

I'd love to see their faces.
