I don’t do private transfers . I don’t gamble . 3 of my machine guns came from quiet riot . The 4th is coming from a trusted dealer in Louisiana and being transferred to quiet riot as we speak. Private and out of state transfers have too much risk imo . So I wait until quiet riot gets them.That's pretty good logic. I'm leaning towards a Mac, largely because of the aftermarket parts availability. I guess with an investment like this I should learn to service it myself and have a ton of parts handy at all times. Do you have any tips for getting a good deal from a private seller other than watching Sturm, subguns, and odt like a hawk? I've tried calling a couple in-state dealers but it seems to be incredibly inconsistent whether A. they have anything pre-86, and B. They take me seriously (often assuming I'm one of those guys that wants to buy a machine gun under the table after watching too much fake news).
While it can be an investment , I just like shooting machine guns. I don’t want to hurt my investment : so I replace all the parts I can on every machine gun I have . The Mac series can be stripped to bare receiver . That you cannot hurt . So all my original parts stay fresh. A Mac complete parts kit is $500
