    $19.99 each. False import papers. Thousands brought in.

    Like this is the first time. Or how easy it is to convert.

    Can we please just recognize if someone wants a machine gun they can get one. Can we just legalize new ones agajn? Cats always been out of the bag, but we are getting to the point it’s a herd of cats out of the bag.

    It shows the false economy created by the ‘86 law. And at $20 per retail, I am betting costs were under $5 each.

    Not the $150k combined for the 3 mp5 style FA’s on gun deals a while back.

    There was also a similar issue with auto sears a while back in airsoft toys

    PayPal used to buy parts to convert Glocks to fully automatic. Oh the horror.

    You know what's the subconscious sad part of the article. It's playing off the increased tensions with China. First Huawei products spying on us, now a demonization of chinese products bringing crime. As if our own government isn't already doing the same to all of us. Smh

    I wonder if this is along the same vein as the "fully semi-automatic" story they started. You would think that something like this would have made the rounds? Or is this a "Dark Web" thing?

    I think its a dark web thing.

    Think about it: 2500 new machine guns on the street, where is the blood and guts? No discernible uptick in violence since.

    It’s not a dark web thing. They were sold on Amazon and that “wish” app.

    We have recovered a few and gotten the BOLOs on the product but to my knowledge they have all test fired “semi”. We haven’t see any that have test cured Auto.

    There are a few YouTube videos on how they even jam the gun because after instillation the slide can’t even go into battery. It’s badically just a look thing like a fake suppressor. I have posted them on the forum before.

    It's a good thing the ATF is here to save us from this dangerous threat to humanity!

    So the ATF is spending resources looking for fake fun switches instead of rounding up "real" machine gun parts AKA "bump stocks" which hundreds of thousands were legally sold because ATF said they wern't machine guns until they were. Maybe they want to smuggle them to Mexican drug cartels?:sarcasm:

    If the converters don't convert then the only thing illegal is falsified import documents or consumer fraud, isn't that some other agency's responsibility?

    Who knows maybe they do have them. In my last post I’m just assuming pretty hard cuz these fake things have made a rather large uproar as of recent but everything has been semi.

    I’ve gotten the BOLO on these things from a few different sources.

    I’m also not mechanically inclined so maybe there is a way to use this POS to trip full auto, but i haven’t seen it.
