Off-list MP5 copycat.

[Pablo]

On arf a while back I read about someone who was selling either an M16 or a Commando, that had been modified to semi-auto only, and was removed from the NFA registry. I'm guessing these receivers would be legal in California too, as M-16 and Colt Commando arent on the list. Neither is M4 for that matter.

By the same token, who would want to weld up a perfectly good sear pin hole, just to make a weapon semi-auto only?

I don't think that's possible... The law is very clear about the subject. Once a machine gun is always a machine gun so you can't remove it out of the NFA registry.

Unless it was done pre-GCA68... even then not likely...

There are some Colt Commando SBRs that were removed from the registry to sell as non-NFA, but they were never machine guns...

Has anyone made any off-list MP5's? Vulcan Arms has something called a V94 that looks awesome. I would like to get it, but don't know if it can be made to PRK-legal.

Can it be done? If so, how?

I know many people don't like Vulcan's, but my concern is whether or not it can be made CA legal.

Any help is appreciated.

I've had very good luck with Special Weapons guns. I had a SW9 that I later sold to a friend and now I have an SW45 (.45 caliber version) that I am selling. Both have performed very well for me. Pictures of my SW45 are Here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=93&t=366389

Although there are claims to the contrary, Bobcat and Special Weapons seem to be the same company. I don't hear anything good about either one (just like Vulcan) but I haven't seen anything bad with my own two eyes.

I don't think I'm unique when it comes to the fact that I've had two guns from Special Weapons that run either. I think that people that have had good experiences just aren't as vocal as those who've had bad experiences. Just my opinion though.
