In what condition, and which one? I mean, I've seen them on Ebay for about 400 - 500 too, but they weren't the best condition. Where did you see em for that price?

some magazine article, you have to join some club and they sell unissued originals for around there

Crap. cry:

I have a magazine from a army store that has a used disposable one for 200 bucks. It's really ratty, all scratched up, heh. But it comes with a round thats dead & the optical sight. I think I may just get that & hang it on my wall.

ebay cannot sell working firearms. I think there is a website called AIM they have great deals, as for gun shows its buyer beware. I have purchased a rifle missing a firing pin at a gun show. Go to a good gun shop they will have used firearns. I just picked an SKS from such a dealer and love it. The SKS shoots a smaller round that the M1 so watch your shoulder cause an M1 has a nice kick to it! here is a pic of SKS http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/SmallArms/sks-56.htm
one thing to consider when buyuing a gun like this is the cost of ammo. The reason I went with the SKS is because 1000 rounds is only $90!! good luck with your purchase.

If you guys want a bolt action, go with the Lee-Enfield less kick

My dad has an SKS, sweet gun.

Could someone explain to me the difference in semi-auto and full auto?

[quote="1000 Staples":faeb5]Could someone explain to me the difference in semi-auto and full auto?[/quote:faeb5]
semi=fires as fast as you can pull the trigger
auto=hold the trigger down

While on the subject of guns, what's the difference in a submachine gun and a full machine gun?

[quote=Webb]You can't own a BAR in the USA (no autos here) only semi,unless you're Tom Hanks. biggrin:[/quote:0b0e6]

While weapons laws vary from state to state, in most of the US it is perfectly legal to own a full auto weapon. In addition to being able to pass a background check you must do the following:

Find a transferrable Class III (full auto) weapon-not all machine guns fall into this category. Prices for fully transferable guns are quite high. I paid $10,000 for my BAR when I purchased it, a WWII era Thompson will run around $8,000-$9,000. I've seen wartime MG42's go for as much as $18,000. The cheapest I've seen are Sten smg's which I've seen for as little as $2000.

File the appropriate forms with BATF. You must submit fingerprints and a photo along with your forms. You must also get the Chief Law Enforcement Official (Sheriff, Police Chief, JP, etc) to sign off on your paperwork. This can be the most difficult part of the process since not all are "gun-friendly" I was lucky as mine was. However, by law they must have a legal reason to refuse, "You can't have one." doesn't work. Once BATF has approved your paperwork you may complete the transfer and become the legal owner of a full auto weapon.

Mainly the caliber, the thompson shoots .45cal ACP, the Browning M1919 shoot .30cal. Also an SMG is a very mobile personal weapon, while most machine guns are crew served.
