allthegearandnoidea Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've just been having a look at some photos of various rifles on google and none of the ones that originated in America have sound mods where as the photos on here of peoples guns have quite a lot. Just got me wondering if this is because they are not allowed in the states. Does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 You have to register them with the beaureu of alcohol tobacco & firearms (ATF) I believe, and by doing so you lay yourself open to random visits, suspension of various rights etc. Most people over the pond don't want the hassle so don't bother.

Bleeh Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 As far as I know. You can get them - In certain states they are compeltly illegal. You have to apply, which is a long process and costs $200 or something. I think it depends mostly on the state, how much money your willing to splash out, and if you really want one that bad.

casts_by_fly Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 what bleeh said. It depends on the state and there are charts on the web detailing which states allow what. Basically they are classed the same as machine guns, short barrel rifles, short barrel shotguns, etc. It is a $200 federal stamp to purchase one and you have to be approved (like a background check). Once you get it, you're not allowed to cross state lines with it without notifying the federal government and you can't let someone else borrow it like you can any other gun. In the US, not many bother. Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
