BREAKING: ATF Classifies Galil ACE Pistols As “Machine Guns,” Demands Recall

[dougiemac]

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has officially started contacting Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) in order to start a formal recall of Galil ACE pistols. The recall is due to a third pin hole in the AKM-style receiver that technically makes the pistol a “machine gun” under federal law, despite the fact that they are not machine guns by design, nor readily converted into machine guns.

lol at the giggity

but i guess its because the whole can be retapped out (as if anyone with a drill press cant do this) and allow a FA sear to be slotted in? but i dont know how the guts in a galil work so im just postulating here

5 points for using "postulating" correctly in a sentence.

Auto sear holes or even intentions for the auto sear holes legally classify it as a machine gun receiver. So if your ar15 had indentions marking the auto sear hole, even though the receiver does not have full holes or the proper cavity for a full auto FCG, then it is and will always be a machine gun.

Similar to when AK's had their auto sear holes welded shut, still a machine gun.

Nope, the auto sear still won't fit. The law is this dumb.

It happens to the best of us and is always, most certainly, an "accident".
