That is just a Glock 18 isn't it? I didn't even watch the video it was being annoying and didn't want to load fast enough.... but if that is the case it is just a Glock 18 and that is where your 33 round glock magazines are from. It has been around forever.
 
A Glock 18 IS a Glock 17 with a switch... Some parts are slightly different so you can't just swap them out but the Glock 18 is basically just a select fire 17.

Hey! That is the one Glock I still have:evil:




Of course mine is Airsoft, still lots of fun to shoot anything full auto:neener:eat




And, beat the lock.
 
I want one will obama let me buy one. I do not care for the drum but hey i will take it.
 
You can only own full auto firearms if you are a FFL that has paid the SOT tax... I think that is what it is called... then you can own one for LE demos and stuff... You can also buy full auto guns that were manufactured before 1986 if you can find them and don't mind paying $15-25,000 for a $1,500 gun.

It has NOTHING to do with Obama... it has been that way for a long time. The ability to own full auto guns is also dependant on the state you live in... some states just don't allow it.
 
Mmmmm... happy switch... lol.

Glock 18 was for the Austrian Counter-Terrorism unit, no?

Are there civilian-legal auto sears for Glock 17/19's?

Civilian legal full-auto Glocks are generally the stuff myths are made of. Though, if I had to guess how many might be real, I'd say less than 5. My guess is that they're part of a private collection that somebody will never sell.

Glock 18 has different internals and slide rails are different, so that it is not compatible with other Glock models.

The drop in auto switch (like the one in the video) is an aftermarket part that can be used on any Glock model except the Glock 18.

What's shown in the video is not a Glock 18, it's a modifed Glock 17 with a drop in auto switch.

Factory Glock 18 has selector switch on the left side of the slide.
Aftermarket auto switch is located on the back plate of the slide.

There's a video and installation instructions there as well.

Be aware... If [strike]you own a Glock, and[/strike] have that part - even not installed - you'd better have the tax stamp.

(edited for correction on part possession)

Be aware... Drop In Auto Sears are registered AS a machine gun themselves, totally apart from the host weapon. (Unless there is something different about the Glock system than there is for ARs, HKs, etc.)

So, if you have that part, you'd better have the tax stamp. Or be a SOT Class 2/3.

There are no transferable Glock 18's in existence. The G18 was made after 1986 so it isn't fully transferable. It is also not made in the US so it is bound by the GCA of 1968 which banned the importation of machine guns for civilian ownership. This allows SOTs to possess them but no individual can have them as they would be in violation of the GCA 1968. There are no pre 86 dealer samples, again because it was designed and made after May 19, 1986.

I seriously doubt there are any registered auto sears or the like in existence that are fully transferable. The concept of the full auto Glock wasn't made public until the release of the G18 in 1986. I doubt anyone designed, made, and registered any conversion parts for the Glock 17 before May 19, 1986.

I certainly believe you're right. I have seen them a few times in competition and at Knob Creek, but I'd have to assume they were probably post '86 dealer samples.

One fellow brought one (whether an -18 or a DAIS version, I don't know) to a GSSF shoot I helped SO about 5 or 6 years ago. He wasn't allowed to shoot it on "Happy" setting in competition, but did take a few high-speed runs at the practice plate rack with it. I was on another part of the range so I have no idea if he managed to clear the rack with it or was just entertaining the crowd.

you are exactly right, they designed the glock 18 to be a select fire 17 but change many aspects of the design for leagal reasons, some countries will not allow the sale of a semi auto version of a fully automatic weapon, in this case the glock 17
 
Even if there was an auto seer for a glock 17 we could buy it would probably be just like every other auto seer and be up in the $15,000 market... I do enjoy a good happy switch but I think it would be more of a mood swing switch since it would be "WEEE awwww..." all in 10 seconds because you would realize you can't find anymore ammo for it...

To my knowledge there are less than 10 in the registry, they almost never go for sale, and from what I have researched the last time one was sold it went for over $100,000.

The FFL/SOT route will only get you switches (with the LEO demo letter) as I understand that Glock does not sell them for samples (for obvious reasons) instead they send a factory rep with them out.
