inquiry

I'm also interested in carbine conversion kits for glocks, there are a number of options in the market.  From what I've gathered from the net, in the States one will have to apply with ATF and "re-register" what use to be considered a handgun to a short rifle.  A fee is involved, approval is not guaranteed.

Locally, I made phone inquiries after I learned that Aquilla (HP) will be bringing in the CAA Tactical Roni this July (made inquiry May).  According to the manager, the conversion kit need not be registered with FED as it does not actually alter the handgun (eg. still the same caliber, remains a semi-auto ... essentially the same handgun registered in your name).

Initially I took his word for it ... supposing of course that the importation of these carbine conversion kits were cleared with FED plus the key reason given sounds "common sensical". Nevertheless, I also wonder how long such (non-registration) would remain the case. We all know that the FED is a copy-cat regarding restrictive policies plus it rarely exibits common sense.

I'm assuming you're a regular civilian like me otherswise, you would likely not inquire on it's legality.  Basically no, civilians essentially are not allowed to maintain full-auto fa regardless if the unit was orginally full-auto or converted.  Then again, if you are one of the priviledged few ... maybe ... pare-pareho naman tayong lumaki dito eh, alam natin that some "miracles" can be facilitated.

So if you're not one of these lucky few, I would advice against feeling lucky and risking the conversion.  Imagine a nightmare of financial and legal disaster ... that would likely come true.
