ruger 10/22 full auto?
 

as you guys probably know im debating between a ruger 10/22 and a marlin model 60. I was wondering where you could convert the ruger 10/22 to full auto?
what process would i have to go through to make it legal? and how much would it cost to make full auto? and can it shoot semi auto and full auto or just full auto? i tried to contact the place but never got a response.

I think you have to have a certain class ofa federal firearms liscense to have a fully automatic firearm in all 50 states,this liscense is not easy to get and I think you have to be 21 and be a owner of a gun business to obtain one,not being a skilled gunsmith and trying to make a gun fully automatic could be very stupid and dangerous,and you may end up with a gun that wont even fire or fires every time that you cycle the bolt to load a shell into the chamber,whether the trigger is pulled or not.I wouldn't advise this.Some of the gunsmiths on this site will post a reply on the laws if I'm wrong,but owning a full auto is illegal for most citizens I think.You would have no benefit of a full auto hunting any way it may be fun to waste ammo on tin cans,but you will find if you practice you can pull the trigger almost as fast as a auto.

You have got to bekidding? You are 16! You are not even old enough to buy a gun!You are planning on taking a $200rifle and paying $500 for a permit to full auto of which you can't evendo at your age. Come on! Scary!

It will cost you a bunch of red tape, giving up your rights to allow the BATF to come and search your house any time they want with out you permission, pay a $200 tax for the paperwork that you MUST keep with the gun 100% of the time or risk a felony, and pay a gunsmith with a class 3 license to convert it to full auto.

And as TimberCreek points out you aren't even old enough to own a firearm. I don't know about Ohio but you can be in posession of a long gun with out adult supervisionprovided you are involved in certain shooting sports but certainly not a full auto rifle.

And the sear would have had to been made before 1986, and registered. I doubt there are many, if any out there.

RE: ruger 10/22 full auto?
 

Well, I messed around with my sear once trying to make it lighter, and made the 10/22 full auto until it jammed. I ended up havin to buy a new titanium sear anyway. Which was cool

Its probably possible but you risk getting anally raped by your new cellmate for the next10 years.

You cannot legally convert a 10/22 to full auto.

Say even if you did make it full auto.

1. it would be a runaway gun (ieyou pull trigger and the gun with cycle and shoot till its empty) that would get annoying and not very practical.

2. Alot of Machine guns have beefed up firing pins, spring,bolts, receivers ect ect so it can handle the high rate of fire, point being a 10/22 would just jam and messed up all the time.

I do think everyone is being a little hard on the guy, hes 16...he wants to light stuff upI understand where hes comin from, I sure theres people on this board that the thought of a functional full auto 10/22 with a 100rd drum would be entertaining.

3. Rimmed cartridges aren't conducive to reliability under full auto unless they are belt fed.
4. Something like a 10/22 would probably work better fired from an open bolt and I doubt Volquartsen makes 'open bolt' conversion kits:D

If in some parallell universe where all fun things haven't been or are in the process of being taken away by liberal F-tards I'd certainly want a full-auto 10/22.
