    when i go to this site

    http://www.impactguns.com/machine-guns.aspx

    some of the firearms say transferable, so what are the rest?
    seems to me they are all for sale, so what are the logistics?
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    "Transferable" means that the gun was registered as a machine gun before 1986. Citizens can only take possession of machine guns registered before 1986. If it was manufactured or registered later, it can only be transferred to those who hold a machine gun manufacturers or sales license, or to a government agency.

    Seems like alot of fully auto guns should be elligible for C&R status!

    If they are 50 years old and registered prior to 1986 they should qualify as C&R but I don't know if they have to actually be on the C&R list or not.

    so does a class 3 license make you able to buy the ones that are not listed as transferable?

    There are 3 categories of full auto weapons; 1. Fully transferrable meaning they were put on the registry before May 1986 and were not classed as a dealer sample, 2. Pre May 1986 registered weapons under the category of "Dealer Sample" and 3. Post May 1986 registered weapons as Dealer Samples.

    So yes a full auto weapon built after May 1986 is at best a temporary item even if you are a class 3 dealer. As the dealer you can own it only as long as you have a valid license. (Unless it is a Pre May 1986 Dealer Sample). If you decide to retire or stop being a dealer you have to; sell it first before you become non licensed or have to destroy the receiver per BATFE regulations. Pre May 1986 dealer sample full auto's can be owned after loss of license, post May 1986 guns are the ones I just described.
