Don't be sorry. It's just a CMAG. No one is going to flood your inbox with offers for it.

Probably stacked in a warehouse with all the Japanese type 96 and 99 LMG mags. It seems like when servicemen in WW2 were bringing them home, they just took the gun and left the mags and pouches behind for some reason. Because it's not like every one of these wasn't issued with 6 extra mags and two pouches, because they were. And when a GI came across a dead German soldier carrying a MP44, when he went and picked up that rifle, the mags and pouches were right there as well.

Like MPFiveO, I have a similar collection. To pick a "favorite" out of all of them, I would have to know the reason for the choice. Is it "if you could only pick one in a survival situation", or is it my favorite for concealed carry, or nostalgia or just for personal reasons. And while my choice for a "grab one handgun and run for your life" would be my bone stock Glock 19, my favorite for concealed carry would be my smith 342. But my favorite for "other reasons", and not in the most practical way, would be my Yugo M57.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Some people buy MGs just to send rounds downrange in FA for the LOLs, and others buy them to have pieces of history, a collectable and shoot FA whenever they get the itch. Clones and tributes have their place, just not with me. I don't need a beater M16 clone or SP1 conversion to loan out to new shooters, or to burn down barrels doing beta mag dumps of tracers. I have originals and I take care of them. Because they give me pride of ownership as collectables as well as being investments. I stand by my statement. YMMV

Registered machine guns owners have the reputation of being the most well behaved class of firearms owners for the last 90 years because of the tax and registration process involved as well as the cost to join the group. Something that a lot of people fail to grasp is that in the majority of cases, it takes a little bit of time before you can join the legal, transferable machinegun owners club. Although as soon as you turn 21, you legally can, the vast majority of 21 year olds don't have the disposable income to buy in. By the time most of us (who are not trust fund babies) have the cash available to buy transferables, we have matured enough as shooters to not behave at ranges like the majority of kids in their 20s do. The kind of behaviour that makes you pack up your stuff and move as far away from them as possible so you don't accidentally get shot by one as they laugh and spray the berms with uncontrolled hipfire. Today, you can pick up a basic, low budget AR for under $500, and a FRT for what, $150? This is well within the budget of the average high school dropout. And these kids were bad enough when you encountered them at the range when they were shooting semi-auto. They are going to be intolerable doing mag dumps with their new FRTs in-between hits on the vape full of weed. This behaviour will be noticed and soon enough it will be impossible to find a range that allows FA fire, specifically because of kids and their FRTs. And the states will not differentiate between "real" registered MGs and FRTs. They will lump them in together because the state level lawmakers and lawyers don't know the difference, nor do they care. So the kids and their "loophole" devices are most certainly going to not only give "real" MG owners a bad reputation, but they are going to bring down a lot of bans on us too. Guaranteed. And that whole "common use" argument is as useless and the stack of law cases that "sovereign citizens" try to use to get out of traffic violations.

To be "reclassified", the firearm in question would have had to be originally imported by request of a LE/GOV agency and then later, sold out of inventory. It's extremely unlikely that a M77 in 308 in unfired condition was ordered by a LE agency and left in an armory unfired. But I am open to being proven wrong, as stranger things have happened.

It's simple. You can't ban it if you don't know it exists. If you don't poke the bear, it won't kill you. A lesson the soft youth of today seem to be unaware of. They see a less "anti" administration in place and get all full of piss and vinegar and mistakenly think that they have "momentum", and that they are going to somehow (again, mistakenly) repeal the NFA and be able to make and own MGs as freely as we can an AR15. And we all are going to pay the price for their delusional and ignorant arrogance.

Didn't even know he made UZI mags!

Shippers go by the zip code until the package (or letter) gets to the appropriate branch, at which point it is sorted by address and allocated to the delivery person responsible for that area. But the probability of there being your same address in that totally mixed up area code is slim to none, so that package will either be "returned to sender as "undeliverable" or (and more likely) it will sit in a "dead letter" area where undeliverable letters and packages go. So what you can do is track the package using the airtag you sent the seller to include in the package, and once the package has been idle for a few days, go to that branch and try and collect it, or call the postmaster of that location and explain the situation and get it moving to the correct location. If all that fails, claim it as "lost" with your firearms insurance provider.

Prolly close to $40k

You keep telling yourself that, kiddo. And don't forget to have copies of your sovereign citizen laws handy to show the authorities when you claim your "rights".

That's got a nice ROF!

If you got a conformation letter from the ATF, it's not going to change back. If you're talking about the "color change" on eforms... Yeah, that was never a reliable tool.

"Too short" Only if you're one of those people who like to "drive your gun" and have your support hand as far forward as possible, with your thumb wrapped over the top of the handguard.

The one with the shorter arms and large hole in the center of the backplate is for the 94/Mp5. The one with the longer arms and raised, smaller circle is for the Hk93. Hk93 on the left, Hk94 on the right. The large hole in the center of the 94 backplate is for the poly buffer to go into.
