    Depends on the state or wherever you live. Im sure someone with more knowledge on this will comment. There is probably some stupid law that prevents you from keeping it. I heard of somone in the same position in a few years ago regarding a Thompson.

    All machine guns that are not registered are illegal machine guns and can never be registered, is what I believe the law everywhere in the US. They should be turned in to the proper authorities... If i were in the situation it would have never existed...

    I would not mention things of that nature too much, illegal mgs do not exist in the United States....
    A while ago in some north eastern state the police offered a gun turn in program for all unwanted guns and an elderly lady turned in an mp44 and the news said that they gave it back to her to sell since it was worth 20k and that they didnt want to destroy history... we all know that means it was melted down...

    And here's a fun fact to make you sit up and be perky....Federal Law imposes harsh penalties for machine gun violations, including imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine of up to $250,000, or both for possessing an unregistered machine gun.

    Thats good to hear. I saw a thread on another forum about one of those programs and the police said no one turned in anything worth over $100 meanwhile there was a original SOG knife from vietnam sitting on the table. Idiots!

    I thought it was up to $100k in fines, but I could be wrong, plus other possible charges added on top...
    I think it is a little over kill but I am not Congress...

    There should be a Government run place where you could get historical MGs deactivated I would pay good money to preserve a piece of history instead of letting some morons melt it down.
