Not this one BTW, all of the responses were aligned with the regs, which led to the destroying of the receiver. I wanted it to go to a historical society, but it was not mine to make that decision. Ultimately, we feel it was the safest route and the easiest. BATFE was not polite when it was mentioned.

There was so many different answers to this issue. An overwhelming amount of "do this" and "it's not a MG" and "you have nothing to worry about" vs. the other half saying "get rid of it" or "why are you even talking about it". We knew it was a MG from the beginning. We read the BATFE's regs regarding the M2 long before we started asking on different forums. We wanted to see if the weapon could be transfered to someone that was allowed to own it. This forum was the most beneficial and gave the best opinions, we were surprised to see the amount of basically wrong and illegal answers. I do not know much about owning a class 3 but I knew the basics, and some of these firearms forums are going to get you in trouble.

receiver was cut in three pieces and turned over to the local pd. There were no full auto parts. It was in semi auto configuration. The rest was given to a collector near FT. Bragg. The MAS36 was just that, a bolt action Mas 36 from France. The paper work was from the commander transferring ownership to the soldier upon his retirement. There was no paperwork for the M2 leading me to believe it was either stolen out of the arms room or given with out consent. Either way he was scared and decided to destroy it. It was a nice rifle. Besides the M240B, 249SAW and some foreign full autos, I have never seen one of those. History in my hands. I was sad when he took the Sawzall took the sawzall to it. BTW the saw struggled to cut that steel.

There are none. The MAS36 I have has papers. But none for the Carbine. Does not look good for this rifle. Cut it in half or turn it in is only option?

Inherited an M2 stamped carbine. Is it legal. Someone told me I need to turn it in. Before I give it to the police I want to make sure. Inland Div 7163XXX U.S. Carbine .30 M2
