Just breezing through..Just want to point a few things out.
It is NOT illegal to own a class 3 weapon..so long as it was manufactured prior May 19 1986 ...You just have to register it & pay the taxes (thats the easy part) Most eligible class 3 rifles are in the $10K range!
-An M14 can be either fully automatic or semi..The ones we use here in Iraq are semi only.(modified from fully auto?)
An AK-47 makes a great home defense rifle BTW..
7.62x39 FTW
Get 'em while you can!
I would have to disagree with the AK47 as home defense. Remember the Stockton CA shootings? It has been proven that the Jacket of the AK round is rather thick. It is more likely to over penetrate instead of fragmenting. The 5.56 has proven to be a better round no matter what the circumstances in regards to the 7.62 AK round. no matter what the bad guy will be hurting. I like that fact that at the higher velocities in Close quarters the 5.56 does more damage than 7.62x39 and 7.62x51.
