Was talking with an FFL dealer and he said a mauser k-98 and an ak-47 would be okay for an 18 year old to own..but a thompson might not be because he wasnt sure if it was considered a long gun rifle...any insight?? Thx

A good rule of thumb, if it has a shoulder stock and a barrel 16" or longer it is classified as a rifle. If your Thompson is full automatic, then it is a machine gun, if not then it is an assault rifle as it has a pistol grip and uses detachable magazines, at least here in Cal.
Your original question mentioned M-1 carbine, whats up?
weapons or semiautomatic weapons?
Have fun, be careful!

HIPS program for hunting. The only problem, will be with the purchase of ammo. Any ammunition which can be used in a pistol, is prohibited for sale, to a minor under 21 years of age. Such as the 45acp, and the 22rimfire.
