Hi all, I'm trying to find out info on owning something like an Ak 47 and I can't seem to find any specific answers on what is and is not legal. The way I understand it, a fully automatic pre 1986 version is legal? but are not the one's being sold for $400-$1000? As far as the ammo, is the 7.62 x 39mm still easily obtained and legal to posses?
I'm guessing that the plethora of AK's now available are semi-auto and are available because of the expiration of the ban in 2004?
Here's the question to tiptoe around; I've heard (and rumors are always plentiful) that these can be converted to full auto quite easily, but the penalties for being found with one are quite severe? So I guess converting one and showing up at the local shooting range for target practice would be pretty dumb?
Thanks for any input on this, I'm sure this is real basic stuff for a lot of you, and that's why I'm here asking.
