Bruce, A technical correction. — “Heavier than a sonofagun, and that was unloaded and without a magazine,” Third noted, “but a beauty nonetheless. I don’t mean to pry, but, um, aren’t those illegal?” “If the government knows you have it, for sure,” Frank Jr. agreed. “Lucky for me they don’t know anything about it. Or rather, they did until about 1965.” Actually You can get a federal stamp/license for a full auto weapon if pay the $200 fee (per weapon), and you can get a chief Law Enforcement Officer (such as Chief of Police or a Sheriff) to sign the paperwork. The catch is the weapon has to have been manufactured before 1986 (like this particular BAR was). Some states have further restrictions and some do not. Thanks for the heads up - damnably hard to keep track of firearms laws and regs sometimes. Maybe I was thinking that the Army would get him for stealing / misappropriating a weapon. Regardless, thanks! Actually that’s no longer true. AFAIK if it was not registered before 1986? It can NEVER be legal. No matter how much you pay. Of course I might be wrong but that’s what I recall learning @1990
