Know The Law First

This book is sold as an informational and historical reference. In the United States, making or possessing a machine gun is tightly restricted under federal law, and converting a semi-automatic rifle to full-auto without the proper federal licensing is a serious crime. State and local laws may add further restrictions, so check what applies to you before acting on anything you read.
