Where do I sign up? Of course, I wonder how many thousands of dollars they charge. But sure beats the heck out of clay pigeons!
There are several MG shoots around the country held all through the summer. At some of the MG shoots, you can rent a MG for as little as 20/mag.
If you want to do the ownership route, all it takes is time and money. For most people it will be a pre May 17, 1986 registered (not manufactured) MG, a simple form ATF form 4, two sets of finger prints, and a check for a one time 200 dollars tax.
If you want something newer, you have to go the SOT route which is very difficult to meet the requirements, and much more expensive. (1500 dollars a year)
Usually people start out in "cheap" 4-6k MG's (Mac 10, IMI Uzi), and then progress up to the more expensive ones. Ma Duce is going to run approx $25,000.
Here I am at Bulletfest 2004, after going through a mag in a HK-51 (.308 Winchester full auto short barreled rifle)
