Hey guys!
New to the forum, but figured this was the best place to come to speak with people "in the know".
I'm curious about what all the steps necessary are to purchase an MP5. Not a semi-auto replica, but like the legit full auto sub-machine gun.
I've heard from several friends that Plainfield Shooting Supplies is the closest Class III dealer to Indy, and that they would be the best place to go. From there they should be able to special order me exactly what I want, or at least something close. Any other info or suggestions on this? I'm located on the Northside, so it's not too bad of a drive.
How much should I expect to spend when it's all said and done? What kinda of breakdown should I expect? (How much for the gun, then how much for the taxes and fees and what not) I've heard everything from $2K to $20K, so I'm a little confused on what to expect.
Also, once I get it, do I need any sort of special ammo for it? Or is it all pretty standardized by caliber? I wasn't sure if there was something different I need to keep an eye on for an automatic...
Finally, once I have it, where can I actually shoot it? I don't think the MP5 is a large enough caliber to qualify as a rifle shell, so am I able to take it to places like my home range at Pops Guns on the east side? Or is the decision made on a range by range basis? Once there, am I allowed to fire it in auto mode, or do I have to keep it in semi?
Oh one more thing, what kind of carry restrictions are their on this? I mean I don't expect it to be legal to walk down the sidewalk with it under a coat or anything, but what about transportation? Like can it only be in my trunk in a locked case? Etc etc...
Ha sorry about the novel of a post, but I appreciate all the info!
Looking forward to being more active on the forum!
