Purchasing and owning a Glock 18

[decadude]

I promise I am not trying to stir the pot and create a political debate on this thread; however, I bet it could be inevitable. I read so many confusing post about this online on various forums and just online articles all are conflicting and confusing to no end.

For a non LE or Military purchase what are the possible avenues for a civilian to legally own a glock 18 ??

Slim and none and I think Slim just left town. But I really don't know!

1. Find someone selling it
2. Fill out the correct forms with the ATF
3. Wait

Someone else can give u the details cause I don't know which forms u need and all that

There are very few transferable glock 18's in this world. It would be easier and cheaper to become a class 3 dealer and sot and purchase a dealer sample, by a LOT. You can always put an add out on Sturmgewehr nfa forums stating you wish to buy a transferable. good luck though

I'm not even sure there are any transferable glock 18's. Only 18's I've seen are dealer samples. Had a guy try to sell me a converted 17 once.

I have never heard of a transferable G18.

NO NEW CIVILIAN MACHINES GUNS AFTER 1986, this also means you can't covert guns made before 1986 to full auto either. By sticking an auto sear in a glock 17 you are manufacturing a machine gun that can not be registered because the registry has been closed permanently. Look up the control act of 1986 and it will answer your questions.

Just out of curiosity why do you want one?

Other than wasting ammo, showing off, or mowing down a small crowd of pissed off teenagers they really aren't good for anything. They aren't the easiest to control even with a stock.

Some folk just gotta get what they can't have.

Hit Vegas, The big gun range there has an 18 you can rent.

G18's are readily available in BF3, have fun... Shoot all you want, the ammo is free...

Move to Somalia and trade 2 chickens and a pack of American cigarettes for one. You won't be owning one in the USA.

There are 0 pre-1986 Glock 18s in the registry. The closest you will get to one is probably a Beretta 93R, of which there are *6* in the registry. Be prepared to pay close to $100,000 for one, they were selling for around $25,000 ten years ago.

I think he gets the point.

If not, then it's a lost cause.
