As I understand there are, were around 3000 FNC rifles that were imported and around 4000 sears registered. Mine is number 2488.

In theory - Any of these un-paired (and registered) sears would be viable for say if FNC parts kits came into the country at a future time and pair a pre-86 sear with a normal semi-Auto parts kit gun ??? The notion that it has to be an original Belgian made seems a little bit of a stretch and as you say at the moment the juice isn't worth the squeeze to challenge the ATF. THe actual manufacture of the machine gun is the sear Mfg. HK sears are employed on domestic clones and other foreign made clones without any challenge from the ATF so the precedent is not there. Interesting.

Thanks for the video, really interesting stuff.

that is damn little effort for a nice profit for such a small part. got to hate silly laws but love gaps that leave options.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Some of us were just regular broke college students when Senate Bill S49, known as the "Firearms Owners Protection Act" was passed into law on May 19, 1986. I had found out that machine guns were legal just a couple of years before that, and being too poor to afford anything but a .22 LR and having only 2 choices (Thompson and American 180), I decided to make my own. Having no idea about the "poison pill" Hughes Amendment being attached to S49, I filled out a Form 1 to build my own machine gun. I got it filed in April of 1986 and it came back approved some months later, in spite of the huge rush of registrations that came from those who knew about the coming "machine gun freeze". Kind of cool that I have a transferrable Form 1 machine gun with my name on it, but kind of lousy that that right was taken away from us for what was purely a procedural move to get support for the bill dropped.

The history of a Doug Oefinge’s fight against 1986 registry closing and his associated machine gun tube business would be an interesting video.

I watched the vote on TV (I was in law school at the time) and it looked to me that the vote was "to rise" to end the session. I came away believing that the anti-machine gun part had NOT passed. But the Congress has the power to interpret the votes so they said that it was to ban machine guns.

great info 🇺🇸

Worth pointing out that when the ban went into effect the FNC was still importable so having more sears than rifles was perfectly okay.

So if I buy one of these sears (and tax stamp), I can put it on the shelf and display it as my registered machine gun, per the ATF?
