“I’m considering the purchase of an improvable automatic rifle to augment my personal collection”
Unless you have a FFL, that “automatic” part is going to be tough, not to mention very illegal.
If you meant semi-auto, take a look at the CMMG gas piston M-4. Buddy just got one from CDNN sports for about $1k. Shoots great and runs clean.
Full-auto is legal in most states, you don’t need an FFL.
You just need to pass a local LEO and national FBI background check, and send $200 to the Treasury, you’ll get a tax stamp back, then you can go get the weapon.
I used to be a class III dealer.
