    Before you start getting too excited you need to be aware that there is no possible way to import that machinegun into the United States for other than a few highly restricted purposes. Exactly what are your plans for this Machinegun? Asssuming you are a licensed Class 1 importer you may bring this gun in for study or other scientific purposes (with rock solid documentation to back all this up) in which case you'll be granted a conditional import permit allowing the gun in the country for a maximum of 12 months. The Hotchkiss is a Curio and Relic and these C&R machineguns can no longer be imported as restricted dealers sales samples with police letters since future supplies of these guns would be doubtful if a PD chose to make the purchase. There is no possible way that this MG can be sold to or retained by an individual in this country.

    That's not what i wanted to hear,but thanks for the info Mark.Since this gun in not able to fire anymore because of its poor shape does that make a difference?

    Sorry to have Mark burst your bubble, but the law is the law. Whether it "works" or not is immaterial if the firearm in question hasn't been certified a "non-gun" by BATFE. Hanging on to an illegal machinegun is a bad idea, and will probably bring a Karmic wake up call from the goon squads.

    If you know it all; you must have been listening.<br>WEAR EAR PROTECTION!

    Steve, unless the receiver is totally demilled by torch cutting into three pieces it is considered a machinegun no matter what its condition or ability to fire is. There is simply no way that your Hotchkiss can be inported at this point in time. A live registered Model 1914 brings around $6000 to $8,000 in todays MG market but all of those guns were imported prior to the 1968 cut off and there can never be any more imported for transfer to individuals.
