    Are people suggesting that a post-68, pre-86 import MG can be transferable if it was imported for a government agency? This is not something I’m familiar with and I’ve been into MGs for over 20 years.

    Not imported FOR a fed agency instead imported DIRECTLY BY a fed agency

    Agree, It is an oddball case & that there is always risk that ATF could change their mind on the classification

    I am confused here, everyone keeps talking about the year 1984 as the manufacture date. Isn't anything made or registered on or before May 19th 1986 able to be considered Transferable? 

    A MG imported post 1968 GCA is a dealer sample (what are now called pre86 dealer samples) as opposed to post-86 dealer samples.

    Most transferables were either imported pre-1968, manufactured in the US pre-86, are legal mil bringbacks, or amnesty registered (possibly imported illegally).  There appear to be a few other ways to get into the registry as a transferable, but are very uncommon.

    Was the gun imported by Feds?  If so, I’m not sure the same rules apply…. Is there an import mark?

     

    fwiw, the old thread noted above also alludes to to this imported by feds situation.


    My understanding is only guns directly imported by a federal agency and subsequently transferred to public would be treated this way.  Anything imported via a type8 FFL (importer) would be subject to normal rules (even if imported for a fed agency)

    There was another batch of fed agency imported Mp5s auctioned a couple years back as transferable with aft blessing apparently.  Nothing says they won’t change their mind in the future, though…

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  13. Repairing chipped M60 bolts

    @StrangeRanger  fwiw, I've found a liberal application of grease to the tower/bolt interface significantly reduces / eliminates wear.

     

    @Aaron in Mohnton Pa I'm super excited to see this new source of bolts come to market & hope folks will post some range reports and/or pics after shooting a few thousand rounds (bolt + before/after pics of the barrel extension that used with the bolt would be helpful as well!).

  18. Price check on M2HB Ramo sideplate gun and TRW M79

    This auction had an M79 and 3 M2s

    10.5K M79: https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/4090/454/varo-m79-blooper-grenade-launcher-class-iiinfa

    64.6K Real C&R M2: https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/4090/477/us-springfield-m2ac-class-iiinfa-cr-fully-transferable

    32K Sideplate M2: https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/4090/1495/berton-r-miller-m2-class-iiinfa-fully-transferable

     

    IMHO, the M79 sold above mkt and the sideplate M2 sold below mkt

     

    Re: M2 accessories - Usually you can maximize value selling by accessories separately from gun, but for an M2, less easy to sell and most likely

    will get help the gun for a higher price to a potential buyer...  Factory ammo certainly has value separately, but 50ammo can be difficult to ship... 

     

    Re: sideplate gun differences - IMHO, there is much difference between them - builder & config prob impacts more and anything else.

  25. Multi-Caliber MG: What goes in "caliber" Box 4(c) on the Form 3?

    What if I put all three calibers:  “ .308/30-‘06/8mm “  ??  Bad idea? Good idea?

    Bad idea - just use 0.30

    Think of it like ordering French Fries @ McDonalds drive thru - you can say whatever you want, but the guy on the other end only had S/M/L buttons on his computer - you can’t order SMLargeish  - it’s simply not on the menu…
