You cannot bolt a trigger group through sides of a tube where a giant piston of a breach bolt slams back and forth...nor inside a tube with no access to inside (Sten Mkiii)......fully auto weapons manufactured after the amnesty are illegal for normal citizens to own or possess....period, only dealer samples/LE/and military......if it was registered prior amnesty it would be legal.
Current law is current law and although i am quite in agreement that our constitution was meant for everybody, i do not count myself among those who find out the hard way when their lives are ruined by being carted off to a federal prison and slapped with ruinous fines that there is a vast political machine that will squash one like a bug.....it ain't worth it...and what goes on at home stays at home to not tempt the machine...
Not sure what your talking about because people build semi auto stens all the time. All you do is...
1. Drill out the fixed firing pin all the way through.
2. I always use a Feather industries AT-9 firing pin because it has a ledge for the sear to catch.
3. Remove the sear catch on the bolt so it turns into a closed bolt system
4. It actually easier to use a complete Feather AT9 fire control group, including the housing because the Sten and Feather have the same diameter tube.
The drill press, lathe can be bought at Home Depot for short money. You only need the table top versions. ANYONE who isn't a felon or wife beater can LEGALLY build a semi auto in his or her kitchen without any ATF or paperwork need. That is the law of the land. Just engrave your name in the receiver.
Sorry for the Necro thread... I just read your post. People build closed bolt UZis, Stens, Sterlings, MK760 ALL THE TIME! Its not illegal as long as you aren't barred from owning guns.
One more thing... The Constitution was not meant for everyone. It was meant for one entity... The Government! The Constitution is only meant as a restraint of the government. It does NOT grant us rights. We are BORN with these rights. The Constitution is only worded towards the Government. No where in the Constitution does it say you have these "rights". It only has provisions limiting the Government's power so they can not trample on those rights. Most Americans don't understand Natural Rights.
Any law that circumvents the Constitution is null and void. Look at all the gun laws they made in DC that are now overturned. Mandatory trigger locks in the home is now ruled Unconstitutional. Handgun ban now ruled Unconstitutional. Having to give reason for a pistol permit ruled Unconstitutional. These were all laws that some people didn't follow, they were charged with these crimes. We would all still be following these laws if people didn't have the guts to challenge them. You cant be convicted of an unconstitutional law. I don't follow mans laws... I follow god laws. MOLON LABE!!!
