"Is Oregon one of those states? I tried to do some homework, but it's hard to get a straight answer. I'm thinking of moving to Southern Oregon, but it sounds like there are lot of bans in the works up there as well."
I've been thinking the same thing - OR is the last real 'holdout' on the left coast-here in WA, you can supposedly buy suppressors (my police chief will never sign anyone's form), but you cannot fire the weapon with it mounted (!)...We can thank OSSA and others for defeating Ginny Burdick and Co., but Oregon is certainly at the top of the hit list, which is why it is so crucial to support pro-gun org.s, such as OSSA.

maybe you can bumpfire an m82 and see what it feels like |

So how do those drop in auto sears work?
what are the legalities?
its ok to buy one, but you have to register it before you put it in the gun?
what are the correct steps of buying,registering,installing a DIAS legaly and correctly  _________________ MCP

They are considered to be a 'machine gun' just as though you bought the whole gun already assembled. As such, it would also have to *already* have been serialized and registered with all other NFA machine guns back in '86 to be transferable today. (and then only if you live in a NFA state)
(or you could become a manufacturer/dealer like Mark and make your own!) |

As long as you don't have any of the rest of the AR-15/16 parts that make the 'rest' of the gun, then they're 'legal' to posess. Otherwise, you could be up on charges for illegal 'manufacture' of a machinegun. Those ads could just be the ATF trolling...
(they're just a bit of sheet metal, really not much to see...) |

All of the existing "transferrable" machine guns (somewhere around 200,000 guns?) can still be bought or sold. Companies with a Class 2 manufacturing license (like us) may make new machine guns, but they can only be sold to police, gov't, or dealers with letters from law enforcement seeking demos. Because of the fixed supply and increasing demand, transferrable machine gun prices have gone nuts.

I don't get it, why the hell didn't more get sold before the freeze? If they opened up new registration, there would probably be 200,000 new MG's sold in the first year.
ATF is allowed to have amnesty periods where people can register MG's without fear of prosecution, but they haven't had one since, oh, 1968. I guess they are afraid of drowning in form 1's. _________________ "Let's hear it for the most important armed force of all: YOU and ME!"

They didn't need to be sold to be registered before the ban. Believe me, companies manufactured as much as they could once they knew the ban was coming...many even registered stuff that wasn't even done yet. The key point is that AFTER that point nothing could be made and sold to civilians...you have a finite number of guns in the market and the sellers can literally pretty much demand whatever they want. What this did was elevate these items to the status of "investments" and the prices just keep spiraling upward.
The interesting development taking place now is that the BATF has admitted that the record keeping for the NFA is basically screwed...there are tons of guns that were registered that they've simply lost or misplaced the records for. You may see another amnesty soon, a repeal of the McClure/Volkmer Act or a need to alter the date of the receiver ban because of the uncertainty of the BATF records...any of which would be sweet! |

I read some where that the ATF had a record of 200,000 classIII weapons if for some reason they did that they would get like 200,000 more apps for them. Sounds like one hell of a fund raiser for the ATF. _________________ why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?.... |

|
|
I was discussing this with another Class 2 Manufacturer this past saturday.
H etold me that the ATF had basically declared the DIAS as a Mg all by itself, even if you do not own a AR-15 or any parts for such you were still in posession of a MG.
Also he said that there are 2 ads in SGN one of which he was sure was the ATF, The other is just a guy with a phone, he contacts 4 other shops and they send you the pieces of the DIAS and you have to put it together.
and the Final thing about the DIAS, it was designed to fit Pre '81 Colt SP1 lowers, all the other commercial lowers out there aren't cut for it and you have to run an M16 bolt carrier for it to work and the your Ar becomes a full-auto only toy.
Batf has said that having any M16 parts in an AR shows Intent to build a contraband weapon, so you butt get further tossed in a sling.
As I said in the title.
DIAS = BAD MOJO
