Glock 18 full auto pistol

I am going through the NFA Tax Stamp process as we speak...Next I want a fully auto firearm. How much would a G18 run me, and are they even available to civilians?
No machine guns built after 1986 may be transferred to civilians. The only exception I am aware of is for Class 3 dealers who may have a dealer sample, as long as he is in business.
 
His looked like a newer Glock model.

He must be renting it or has his own gun store. I do not think you cannot buy NEW Glock 18's without that. Because Glocks where made 1982>prior and that machine gun ban came in 1986.

No, it would have had to been imported and registered before November of 1968 to be legal. A full-auto Glock 17 would have had to have been converted with a custom designed and manufactured backplate and registered before May of 1986 to be legal. None were.

There are a few transferable registered machine pistols in the registry. I saw a Berreta 93R go for $38,000 a few years ago.

The cheapest full-auto anything you are going to find is a SWD M11/9 for a little over $3000.

mboylan is right. The cheaper way would be to pick up a conversion kit. There are 3 ways to go about acquiring a full auto glock. If your a class III then you'll need a class II to make post sample for you. Alternitevly if your a class II ( SOT ) you can make make em. Last is law enforcement and you would need to get a department letterhead and have a Class II finish it for you. It would be owned by the department, but issued to you.

The most difficult part about the last one is convincing your Chief that a full-auto glock is a good idea. I always tell LEO's to explain to their Chief that they don't always have their shotgun with them and with a flick of a switch they could have the power of their shotgun available at all times. Also if your a LEO wanting a full auto glock make sure you get one with a selector pin instead of a selector switch. The switch can get in the way of holstering your gun.

I deal with customers calls every day over this issue because I sell conversion kits 80% finished, which make the kits legal to own by anyone because of their not finished state. So I spend the day on the phone with customers educating them and giving information on how to become legal. Getting your Class III/Comboylan is right.
