I hadn’t seen that. I don’t plan on transferring an illegal firearm. Maybe I will have to take a closer look at the firarms laws here, but it doesn’t appear to be illegal to sell or buy conversion kits. I’ll have to look a bit closer, thank for the hu.
The National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 applies to both the manufacture and transfer. Mere possession of a kit to convert a gun to fully auto, and the gun that it is capable of converting is illegal. Before you get your get yourself into deep shit, I suggest you do some reading.

The only way that I know of for a private citizen to legally acquire a fully automatic weapon is to pay $200 to the federal government and fill out a Form 4.
Second this. Converting a weapon to full auto “for fun” isn’t wise…unless your idea of fun is seeing about 30 sets of ski masks and jackboots busting through your door. Even more unwise is posting your intention to do it on a public forum. Don’t screw with the ATF…
