[Big country]

Congrats man. And I know I'd be on that press right know gettin ready. Congrats again.

Try to see if you can shoot a MAC first. Big thanks to Chris for letting me shoot his awhile back. I'll say this much, vids do not do those things justice. The sheer sense of violence and pure unadulterated fun of being behind one of those things spitting out ~18rds PER SECOND is unmatched. If I could afford a Title II firearm, a MAC11 would be on my list of must haves at some point or another. They are also the most reasonably priced Class III f/a item out there.

No, the MAC10 is 45ACP or 9mm, and the MAC11 is 380. It is smaller. At least this is how it is for real MACs. Clone makers may have done something else.

Many people incorrectly refer to a SWD M11-Nine as a MAC11, but it is not and has almost nothing in common with the original MAC. Make sure you as buyer and the seller are talking about the same gun before you buy.

The SWD M11-Nine is the most common transferable Machine Gun (over 17,000 available), so prices still very reasonable.

Thanks guys - the gun I'm in the process of buying is a M11 9mm - I sent off the Form 4s off to the BATFE yesterday. I examined the gun and it looks fine - no mods or anything beyond the basic gun. The reason why I'm interested in the 22LR conversion is simple economics - I picked up 2,500 rounds of 9mm brass for about $500 - the 22LR ammo is a lot less expensive, and if 9mm becomes difficult or too expensive to get, I'll have options. I originally looked at the Lage Slow Fire upper, and I am on the waiting list for that - we'll see . . .

Slow fire is no fun, bullet hose is what it's all about. lol j/k

All slow steps towards buying a belt fed contraption.

If you want a real hose gun, try a .30 Browning AN-M2, the one that looks like a miniature M2 .50 aircraft gun. This particular model feeds from either side, unlike the 1919 models. I owned one years ago and as I recall it fired something like 1400 rpm, pretty fantastic for a belt-fed. Particularly awesome at night firing all tracers. Looks like a minigun.

After my CLEO turned the form around in 2 days, I mailed the forms to BATFE on Friday October 30 - the cashier's check was cashed the following Friday - maybe I'm on a roll here?

Don't get too excited there sir. BATFE almost always cashes your check right away.

I bet it won't even be assigned an examiner for approx. 6 weeks. Could be longer unless they are getting caught up these days.

Best advise is to forget about it (yeah, right) and it will seem like Christmas when you get it.

Shucks, I was out to check the mailbox three times already today!

Maybe I can have my Mom call them and tell the BATFE folks what a good guy I am? No, that won't work - she's still wondering why I need a machine gun.
