allotrope Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 We've probably all heard of the unicorn mini-guns, Stoner 63s, M249, 93Rs, Mk19... even a 1911, but what are some of the lesser known "rare" transferable machine guns? This question was inspired by a recent thread about a (potentially transferable) Hughes Aircraft XM-23 / 7.62 Chain Gun. Just curious!

johnsonlmg41 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 9 hours ago, JoshNC said: There are a couple transferable fullauto sears for the S&W metal frame pistols. at least a half dozen. Local guy did them. Oerlikons, at least a half dozen or more including a twin setup. Miniguns, probably 15+, since I know of some that were not counted. There was that briefcase for sale a little while ago? Breda 31, only 1 that I've been able to find? Erma VMP, a few. Lugers There are a bunch of "one off's" that guys did back before 86 that are out there and never see daylight. If you were not an SOT you could form 1 just about anything and get a stamp whereas mfrs. had some rules to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a guy on Arfcom who registered and still has a Remington model 8 converted to fullauto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Zeek Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 (edited) Didn't Brandon Hererra do a video on a prototype 30-06 Thompson that was being sold at Rock Island or Morphy's in the past year? If I recall correctly, he wasn't sure whether it would actually fire, or if was just a concept gun. But still registered as a transferable. Yep, found it!

maxfaxdude Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 (edited) Rare, Goofy, Weird, Almost toy-like in appearance or All of the above...call it what you want, but I think the Demro Tac-1A submachinegun is gotta be up there...

maxfaxdude Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 (edited) This specimen is a fully-transferable all-factory unmodified original...and YES that is a 1970s to 1980s luggage-style combination lock. The gun can only be be fired when the proper 3 digit combination has been dialed in! Edited June 18 by maxfaxdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxfaxdude Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Chambered in 45 ACP, the Tac-1A also features a gold-painted buttstock plate and can be disassembled for cleaning as shown in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxfaxdude Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 (edited) I never seen another one in the wild or in a museum. If someone here has one, send me a PM, I'd love to see some pictures. The Demro XF-7A Wasp SMG is its brother and one was just up for auction not too long ago at Rock Island in May 2026. See me shooting it here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tVF7LyMWz4 Edited June 18 by maxfaxdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
