If NFA ever gets repealed or the registry opened up then prices should be the same as semiauto, the parts are virtually the same, an extra hole or a different sear for example. Criminals get to buy brand new ones or even barely used ones for next to nothing and no paperwork or stamp fees. A few years ago I knew of a FA Mac that a guy was wanting $1000 for but it was illegal so of course I passed. Same gun is roughly around 10g for a legal one?TLE2 wrote:I wonder, are the drug cartels paying these high prices for their automatic weapons?
There are enough AK's around the world (except here of course) to pave a highway to the moon. Can we get one? Not unless your packing (cash that is).
I would love to have an original AK-47, Ma Deuce, and many others. But I'm not Uncle Ted. (I wonder if needs any new friends?)
'86 has artificially inflated US auto prices.
If you're feeling bold, you could probably pick up a full auto AK in Somalia or any other war torn african area for $100 US or less I bet.
