(I'm assuming US)

You can't easily buy full auto M16s*, and bow hunting is very popular.

    You can't easily buy one. You need a tax stamp and that's a bit of a process. But you can buy one.

    The eform system is really streamlined these days. Cost is the way bigger hurdle now.

    I mean, purely anecdotal, but I had a close friend who had to do the process and it took over six months of waiting. Not difficult I guess, but it did take a long time...

    When did it happen? I well know it used to take months and months, but in the last year or so 10 day turn arounds are the average for a transfer.

    I'd still consider the high cost a bigger hurdle for full auto than even a few month wait time. What the wait times used to really be killer were cheaper items like SBRs.

    Last year! Sounds like it's changed since then.

    Yeah I've heard (no confirmation- so take this as pure gossip) that somebody was starting to kick the ATF in the butt a bit for intentionally slow walking reviews, which could have potentially led to litigation they didn't want.

    Um...yes the US. I didn't know bow hunting was very popular. I am in the deep south so it's kind of like who has the biggest most badass gun is their dick size. But yes you can by those M16s in the US my brother got his for the marines.

    He bought for the marines?

    I don't want to be too definitive, but I think you might be mistaken about what he bought.

  • I know a few people in the south who bow hunt, but I think they all also have guns. From what I can tell, it's unusual about the same way someone having an antique car is unusual. Most people don't and it's a talking point, but not unheard of.
