There are a couple local dealer's I know of, but they're usually an "appointment only" kind of thing and not a store front and inventory varies.

IMO the best way to handle machine guns is to make friends with machine gunners and offer to pay for ammo. Or go to some of the ranges that rent machine guns and try some out. Or if you really want to go crazy, drive up to vegas to the machine gun range there and try out a lot of things. Rentals aren't cheap but much cheaper than buying a transferable that turns out to be not what you wanted.

Well, if you go down to S. Phoenix and check around, some of the gangs might have some for you. :mrgreen:

I'm aware of Sturm, and I have several MGs already, uzi, micro uzi, 2 sterlings, 2 thompsons, mac10, fnc, 2 m16s, mp5k, I was just looking at any local places that may stock some inventory. I'm not looking to handle MGs, I'm looking to buy more lol

I'm jealous of the obvious disposable income that's involved in buying them. :)

If you already have a collection, you probably know what you’re looking for so find it online. I don’t know any store that carries significant inventory.

But if you want a mini Uzi to complete your collection, I may have one available soon. 😉

Possibly, depends on condition and price

We have a few in stock at our shop but, it looks like you already own most of what we have in stock. If you're looking for a great price we're not interested in giving them away... lol

We are talking with a guy on buying a collection in the future.

You are far more advanced in the field than I, so I am writing the below also for those that are just getting in the hobby as well:

In my adventures in the MG NFA world so far I have acquired only three:
1) My first one was a M2HB I found on sturmgewehr which I purchased from toneitup, he helped me through the whole process and is a great guy to deal with.
2) My second was a M11/9 that I purchased on Gunbroker, I was lucky and got it for a decent price. This took longer to transfer as it was a Form 4 from out of state to a FFL in state and then a Form 4 to me in state.
3) My last was a registered UZI bolt in a IMI Model B host that I won on rockislandauction, I got lucky and put a low amount and won. I think this only happened as there were so many UZI's in the auction and the market was saturated.

I have bid multiple times on morphyauctions but I have yet to win as the prices always see to be higher there than on Ginbroker or rockislandauction.

sturmgewehr is the best location I have found for fair prices. Unfortunately I have not seen many MGs in store front dealers. Although, last time I was at Diamondback they has a transferable Sten for sale in the back near the silencers.

Another good resource is http://machinegunpriceguide.com

I hope that this helps.

Step 1: "I need an emergency fund. I'll buy more guns and sell some in a financial emergency."

Step 2: "Unlike many other guns, machine guns never lose value. If I had bought them <any time before today>, I'd have more money. I'm going to buy machine guns."

Step 3: "My 401k only lets me invest in the stock market. Screw that, I'm only going to put in enough to get my employer match so I can buy more machine guns."

etc.
