Used to be a time when a GI could bring home trophies like that. They’ve cracked down it quite a bit.

He actually has the capture receipt in his garage! It got stolen by some LT in Germany on the way back to the States

Oh yeah, i would love to try and locate it, but i assume it’s a slim chance

So odd to me that trigger control was less of a thing back then. Glad we're starting to learn.

He was early 20s? So i doubt it was really on his mind much 😂 Now thats all he talks about when guns are around

well, maybe if you had the number thing on the back you kind find it, but idk if thats on the receipt

What unit was he in? He must have deployed from Germany.

If i remember correctly, it had the SN on it, im 1500miles away from him though sooo i cant check

I honestly can’t remember, he was with a tracked vehicle recovery unit.

Ask him, I’d be interested to know.

im sure the German government has a list of guns like that, it may take a while but maybe its not such a lost cause as you think. if its registered its possible
Bren30_06 OP t1_j6pcqps wrote
With the laws in America at the time it probably wouldn’t have been possible to register it as a Transferable Machine-gun because it was after the FOP act of 86. But worth a shot nonetheless, ill have to get the SN and try to locate it!
