MG08 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 BATF has ruled this a MG because it is marked as "M2". Parts in it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1957 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 likewise even if it is an overstamp, once a machinegun, always a machinegun. Can't be undone. That is why M14s could not be sold thru the CMP Program. Contact the M1 club and they may have some ideas of Museums that may be interested in obtaining this item.

johnsonlmg41 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 grind off the 2 or over stamp it hard to a zero. There is no rule as to "once a 2 always a 2", since the receiver itself is no different than a 1. The M14 marking thing was overturned long ago since like the carbine 2 it had no basis as to how a gun functions. FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black River Militaria CII Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Another option is to buy a registered conversion M2 kit if you can find one, and install it. Scarce now, but they do show up now and then. No matter how you alter it, remove or change the '2' or install a registered kit, or do something else to it, it's provenance will always be evident to knowledgeable Individuals.

emmagee1917 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 May or may not work . They may look at it as two full autos in one package . I think they ruled that way on the 8mm MG42 belt fed conversions on a full auto AR lower . Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) May or may not work . They may look at it as two full autos in one package . I think they ruled that way on the 8mm MG42 belt fed conversions on a full auto AR lower . Chris No, the problem there was that the xmg 34 or whatever it was called is a semi auto firearm on it's own. When a registered receiver was added you converted the semi firearm to full auto. Had it originally not been classified as a firearm, it would not have been a problem to add a registered lower to it. There are some work arounds, but that's another story. Other uppers on the market are not classified as firearms (yet) on their own, so that is why they pass muster for now. The .50 cal uppers were recently reclassified as firearms since they can fire essentially on their own.....plus they're evil of course, as is anything in 50bmg.

emmagee1917 Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Not much difference than in a M2 semi firearm with a registered kit added . If the receiver is an unregistered MG in their eyes , I don't think the kit would save you .Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
