So to produce a full auto from a semi auto would not be legal.
Ahh, got it. I wonder why anyone would buy that kit then?

Question about Class 3 Machine Guns

I have been looking at getting a Krinkov. They can be had in SA for 600 to 700 dollars. FA go for 8k to 12k.
I see full auto kits like these selling everywhere. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... m=88272777
This may be a stupid question, but could one buy this kit, apply for the BATF stamp, and simply buy a reciever for it, rendering a full auto Krinkov for about 1,000 bucks?

It would not make any sense, so I am assuming the answer is no. Someone could make a fortune converting these things.
