Do you think any companies will bring out some "new school" guns that would be similar to the tec-9's, cobray's, and kimels' (you know, mostly just the hollywood looking guns) now that the ban has expired and Bush got re-elected?

    The words school and guns don't go together in modern society. Maybe we could call them modernized guns.

    Why get a TEC-9 when you can get a thirty-round magazine for a Glock 17/19?

    I had 3 Tec-9s when I had FFL. Glad to get rid of them. Shoots like a lame duck knuckleball

    that's funny, vafranko! the knuckle duck thingy. heh heh heh. anywhoo. regardless of all that I think it would be pretty cool if some company made some "modernized" guns. Just some normal 'ol semi-automatic with the para-military/modernized look.... something different, something new. hey, maybe one of the bigwhigs at the manufacturers will see this??[8D]

    The Tec9 and Cobrays look archaic when compared with something like the Beretta Cx4 or the HK SL-8. How "new school" do you want? Tec-9's are just el-cheapo semi auto plastic offspring of M3 grease guns from WWII.

    Yeah G, hopefully it'll come out in metallic blue so I can match it with my new Jordans, or maybe a dark red to match my reeboks

    Or get a thirty round mag for a Beretta and not have to own such an ugly gun.[;)]

    But they just don't look as cool ,never mind the fact that they will function through the entire magazine ,and have accuracy beyond ten yards ,they just don't look as cool

    To me it would be similar to have a neat looking car that doesn't run ,or a ordinary car that runs great ,looking at it in those terms most people will pick the car that run great because they have to get to work and other places ,but when their life could be on the line ,they pick a p.o.s. ,I have one in the safe ,I got on a deal {very cheap} ,it is the third one I have had since 86 ,I don't think any of them ever made it half way through the mag without a jam ,and when they jam ,they jam in such a way it is unbelievable ,you have to pull the mag ,try to hold the bolt open while fishing out the bullet ,I have had one turn completely upside down ,and force the bullet totally backwards ,pushing the bullet head almost flush in the case

    Well NWS it would be legal if it was registed and I am not sure any were made before 1986 (I dont know much aobut Tec-9). Is is legal to own machingegun but some stats dont allow it. To make a long story short to privately own a machingegun it has to have been made before 1986, be registed, and transfered through a class 3 dealer. If you would like to know run a search here, it has been gone over many times. If you dont find you answer start a new post wiht that question.

    So say if Bushmaster accidently sent me an M16 but it had all the markings of a regular AR15....would it be legal for me to keep it?

    Or say that Mac accidently sent me an open bolt Mac 10 that wasnt built right and fired on fullauto only....could I keep it? Or say they just sent me a semi auto open bolt Mac 10...could I keep it?

    Silent Knight:

    The ATF actually has a special number for you to call to report such a situation and they will take care of it for you (namely confiscate the firearm, prosecute the dunderhead who sold it to you, and make you bend over to prove you didn't know it was that way when you bought it).

    Vector Arms assembles a pretty good Uzi if everyone if looking for a blast from the past to amaze their friends with.
