Stgw. 57 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 NICE!Jealous doesn't begin to describe it.Does Belgium allow this to remain in functional condition? AFAIK it is possible to own full auto firearms in Belgium, but the permit is very hard to get. I live on the southern shoulder of the Bulge, In Luxembourg, we are allowed to own full auto guns, they are registered on a collectors permit. You only get the permit when you have had a sports gun licence and did sports shooting for a few years and it is selfunderstood that you have a clean slate with the justice.

Hawkeye_Joe Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 But can you still shoot it? I believe that New Zealand lets you own them but you can't fire them...that's like living with Brooklyn Decker and not being able to .....well you know......her.....

mnshooter Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I guess to be fair, owning one and never shooting it is just Belgium's version of our "safe queen only" owners.I know someone with nearly 50 C&R full autos; he's never fired one and doesn't plan to.Not my planet.

casper Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 he, we can still check it's function once in a while, meaning ,check if it still runs FA, it's legal but it has to be done with a shootings range permission, of course only if you have a special collectors permit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
