I knew a guy with a real AK47 "transferable" and they are actually

NFA registry is very rare.
They would have had to be brought home and entered into the registry
during the amnesty in 1968. (as this one was) or demilled and
"remanufactured" before the registry was closed in 86. The reweld and
new manufacture serial number would decrease the collector value too.

One that was converted to semi auto may have some small collector
value but for a real collector it was defaced.

Gotta remember though, Servicemen shipped back lots of captured and
not-so- captured stuff. * Mailed it home one piece at a time.A guy I
know who served in the 68-71 era did two tours with *he Americal (23rd

SKS's.

The operative word is "transferable" (AKA not 10 years in jail and a
$100,000 fine). You can't get a BATF form 4 on any full auto war
trophy you came up with since the amnesty in 1968.
It could have been "demilled" (receiver cut into 3 pieces) and then
welded back together by a licensed machine gun manufacturer up until
1986. (with a new serial number) Now there is no way.

The strange thing is the cops who throw you in jail can register it as
long as it belongs to a PD, not an individual..

I don't thing these guys are to concerned about 'forms' , however, For
all I know, none that he has are assembled.... but can be
