Do you reload?
I don't. Why do you ask?
Because you're going to need to in order to afford to shoot it

Go big...What does an MP40 or MP38 go for? Watching Hogan's Heroes as a kid, I always wanted one.

The 1986 law didn't make it illegal to manufacture machineguns. It created 3 catagories. We can only own transferable guns. Dealers and manufacturers can own pre dealer samples and can keep them when they give up their license and they can own post dealer samples but must give up the guns when they give up the license. Law enforcement and military agencies can buy new guns which are post dealer samples. That's why my M16 cost me 10 grand and any police department can buy one for a grand or less
I've always like the FNC not a bad suggestion either

The Hughes ammendment (black friday as they called it) basically said, no new MGs will be added to the registry for civilians. Only what is in there right now can be traded.

That is the MG42. I said MP40, like this:

Something had to be done to curb that Machine Gun crime.

As much as I think MGs are awesome, I would not want to feed the thing. There is only a fun factor that lasts until you have to reload the ammo and load the mags. The expense alone would be a bummer.
Best of luck though if it works for you.
I have to agree with the above. If money were no object I would definitely pursue it, but more for the collector aspect.
As of now I am happy using the governments guns and ammunition. Besides, no civilian MG could match the Mark 19 automatic grenade launcher, and at $13.50+ a round, forget about feeding that.

Try $213.50 / round in the private sector, since you have to pay a $200 destructive device stamp for each round.

I've had my Grease Gun since 1988. I'ts a dealer sample (post May) that set me back $200. It had no finish, lots of mileage on it and would run off the whole mag without stopping. I reground the sear, bead blasted it and had it reparked. Been working fine since then. I don't shoot it much, but like to bring it to the NES shoots for the members to have fun with. I imagine that the transferable ones are going for at least $13,000. The big problem with this gun is finding extractors. Mine broke and I had to buy a complete bolt/recoil ass'y for $150. Then I found a guy who had an original extractor for $90. There probably are no more. Something to think about if you are looking to aquire a Grease Gun. Jack.I have a soft-spot for the grease gun. That's just me...
