Forgive my ignorance, can a non-NFA be class III? And an AR? Would it not be an M4 or M16?

I am missing something here.

Good question.

While in Basic training, I was issued an AR-15 that had been modified to be an M-16. It was stamped AR-15, but our DI’s had explained to some of us that the barrel had been modified and sloped to match the specs of an M-16 and that basically they were now one and the same.

It had a SFR. It worked perfectly well in SA mode or FA mode.

In fact, the first time I live fired it downrange, I placed 5 of 6 rounds in a pattern that could be covered by a dime.

Now I’m confused too, thinking it over.

Someone here will know.

A non NFA would be a pre 1934 machine gun? Correct? And that would be grandfathered without any crap from the Treasury?

My family has a 1926 or so Model 12 Win. that has no safety feature for the pump. That is you can hold the trigger down on the first shot and keep racking it for consecutive firing. Would that be non NFA?

Not trying to hijack a thread, just curious.
