Price range of low-end automatic

**hoon** · May 25th, 2011, 03:55 AM

I'm considering getting an auto soon, but the price range would have to be ~1000$ and that is after I sell 2 guns. In my county (fayette) I hear its not too hard to obtain the paperwork, so I'm wondering if its worth the bother if this is all the cash I have to work with.

I'd consider a .22lr auto if they exist, but want it to be reliable, and able to shoot fast (faster than fast trigger pull semi obviously). I have browsed the classifieds here occasionally but haven't seen anything under 1K like this. I'd prefer something in 9mm.

Forget about buying a MG for $1000, they only exist in memory.

THE cheapest MG will be one of the MAC series and depending on condition, model, and extras should be about $3000 and up.

You're not getting one for $3K. But you might be able to get a MAC for a little less than $3K, maybe $2,500 if you are lucky. But you would have to be patient. You would probably get a deal like that from somebody that wants to sell but is not advertising the item for sale.

Keep your eyes open, I have seen a few MACs lately in the $3000-3400 range, but they do move quick. Most are being sold reasonable because the owners need quick money.

If you want to scan all the major NFA boards for deals, try:

It's a great little application made by a stand-up guy.

well, to be accurate, yer seeing SWD M11/9s for that price.

MAC is not an interchangeable word here.. MAC = Military Armament Corporation Model 10, designed by Gordon Ingram.

you arent getting an actual MAC-10/45 or MAC10/9 for $2500-3K

MAC-10s and M11/9s(and M12-380s).. totally different guns.
