My absolute dream gun is a scaled down 1921 Thompson that fires .25 ACP ammo (complete with mini L drums, C drums, and stick mags)
Because of the rules, I will most likely be unable to own one of these within my lifetime unless I am a licensed machinegun manufacturer.
Now, here's my question....
I have a registered M-11 machinegun Would I be able to scale down/narrow the receiver of my M11 and build something different out of it, or would my design have to have the original receiver completely untouched? If I were able to convert my receiver into a small scale Thompson... what's to stop me from slicing the section of my M11 receiver that contains the serial number and making a SAW or an M60 out of it... you all know much better about how these things work than I do.
What are the limits that I can work with in regards to how much I can change one of my registered machine guns into something else (a miniature thompson)? Thanks... and please don't flame me, as this is my first post and I am DEAD serious about wanting this gun.
