Decades ago my brother and I both had a substantial firearms collections in Canada and enjoyed firing them on a regular basis. Several were classed as CA (Converted Autos) in Canada and were originally Full Auto such as our M1918 BAR, M1928 Thompson, M1A Thompson, Reising, MG08, BREN MkI, Japanese "Woodpecker", and U.S. Rifle M14 to name but a few. We took them to Three Gun matches on both sides of the border in order to not just enjoy firing them, but to use them tactically with the original web gear. Here's what happened at one match in Washington State when my brother brought his BAR which he had just gotten back from the gunsmith from being converted to semi-auto only: I was first up at a rifle stage, stepped into the shooter's box, slapped a loaded mag in and made ready. When the buzzer went off I raised the BAR to my shoulder, pulled the trigger and heard "THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP,THUMP!" "BRO! we're leavin'!!!" I shouted! The BAR was still Full Auto and he had just brought a Full Auto into the U.S. Fortunately he was able to get back across the border and get the gunsmith to finish the job without incident. I still have nightmares over the legal ramifications we could have encountered that day! (P.S. How does one break this post up into more than one paragraph when hitting "Enter" or the "space" bar doesn't work?)
