My SLR-95 Bulgarian AK gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I like semi-autos. Fun to shoot!

None of my semi auto weapons have ever jumped out of the gun rack, out the front door and gone off to commit a crime.

They are very well behaved.

Mine are extremely well behaved as well. I keep them locked in a safe for their own security and my own peace of mind. I wish I could do the same with my daughter. (Sigh)

I don’t own one of those scary-looking assault guns. I have a nice safe Mini-14. I don’t own one of those “Sniper rifles” either. I just have a Model 70 30-06 with a 3-12 power scope.

I just bought a Yugoslavian M70B and haven't even fired it yet.

I bought it the day after the Lord High Obama (most merciful and benevolent) specifically mentioned AKs in his acceptance speech.

I'll probably get a Saiga next.

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about getting their 410 shotgun version.

Great topic and timely as well.

Can someone here answer this question for me. I was "discussing" the semi-auto/full-auto thing with a lib about a month ago and I made the statement that the ATF will put you in a Federal Pen for possessing the parts to convert an AR-15 to and M-16. He said no one have every done hard time (Leavenworth) for parts possession. I made my statement based upon my memory of reading a story regrading the ATF putting a guy away for conversion parts and his sentence was a hard Federal pen. I can find no reference to that on the net. There are a few scattered stories about them busting people but most seem to be pled out or minimum time.

Anyone have more info?

“Constructive Intent” as the BATFE has defined

If you are in posession of the parts AND a rifle in which those parts may be fitted, you are guilty of “constructive intent” and, for all purposes, posessing the actual machinegun. (M-16 fire control group and an AR-15).

Even if those parts are not fitted into the gun or the holes (AR-15) for the sear aren’t drilled.

The only issue should be what attachments are on your rifle, if any.

And I don’t mean looking to ban any kind of attachment.

How the heck do you get an AK knock-off in NJ?

He was fine ... that’s just him setting up. He’s actually a pretty good shot.

The trick is to get a “single stack” magazine that only holds 10 rounds, and make sure there is a lug welded to the barrel. If they ever get rid of the AWB, a little quick work with a dremel and you’ve got a high cap knock off.
