well first off, many actual military rifles and pistols are NOT that costly(look at m1 carbines, AK 47(semi's) AR 15-s(again semi's)
beretta 92's, 1911's and so on, there all basically averaged preiced weapons, conditions and name of maker will be the deciding factor more on HOW expensive they can be or , how collectible they will be
but if all you want is a gun that LOOKS like the real one, these are better options
you can get into SKS"s, and many other earlier military weapons for rather cheap, Think Mauser 98's,Mosin-Nagent , and the likes here!
I think you need to maybe look into what your interested a little better, NOT bashing on you, just trying to give you honest info here, there are a LOT of better guns out there than the MAC 10-11's
BUT they can be fun guns, just they don't have any real use for 99% of there owners , other than wasting ammo!
the above guns I mentioned, have more use, they can be target guns, and some will increase in value MAYBE over time, and there are a LOT out there in REAL NOT copied form yet!
second, there is NO licence to buy and own a class 3 weapon, that is bad info that has been out there for yrs and yrs
if you wish to buy and sell, you would need a dealers licence, but there is no licence to OWN one as a private citizen
if there legal where you live, its just different paperwork you fill out, if you legally can own a handgun , you can legally own a class 3 weapon(again if legal in your state) there is NO licence you have to buy, there IS a $200.00 tax per item when you buy it, its a ONE time fee, OR untill the next person buys it again!
then they will also pay a $200.00 tax on the item!
