Re: Parts question? What if it breaks?
It is perfectly acceptable to replace worn or add new parts on most full autos that I can think of since it is usually the receiver (the serialized portion) that is on the NFA registry.

Take for example the MAC type of sub-machine guns, below is some links to companies that are cranking out parts and new accessories.

Re: Parts question? What if it breaks?
You can get anything fixed.There is someone out there that can make it right again.I know of a guy that claims he can repair an AR reciever even if it was driven over by a car! In reality,I would wonder about some of the parts that are out there now that started out as the same piece when it was made...If you know what I mean.

Like a MAC-10, a steel receiver you could have anything welded back up.Coachf wrote:Gotcha. What happens if the reciever gets damaged?
An M16/AR type receiver made of aluminum, your damage would be a whole lot more serious, but it can be fixed.

Very rare for a lower to be damaged, unless of course you have a KB. And even then the lowers survive quite often without any damaged. It's the uppers that are usually f***ed.Coachf wrote:Gotcha. What happens if the reciever gets damaged?
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Yes it is legal to have a regular gunsmith to repair your machine gun.
Even transfer on a form something so you can leave it.
AR are not that easy to weld
It can be down but takes a really good TIG welder.

Re: Parts question? What if it breaks?
FWIW I'd be more concerned about ammo costs than repair costs.
That, more than anything else, keeps me from getting into the full-auto game. Fortunately, I was able to get my fill of rapid fire on Uncle Sam's dime.

Re: Parts question? What if it breaks?
Would a 22 conversion kit work in a full auto AR?

Re: Parts question? What if it breaks?
Yes. But to work on full auto,there are a couple of the kits that require a M16 trip part to go in and make it run full auto.

Now that you mention that, I do remember when I ordered my conversion kit a while back there was a model for full autos.Rext wrote:Yes. But to work on full auto,there are a couple of the kits that require a M16 trip part to go in and make it run full auto.

Re: Parts question? What if it breaks?
What's the going rate on the norells now? 5-8k? Not worth it. Seems like the Mac with all the upper options is the more cost effective way to go.
