That seems a lot of trouble to go through. There are compliant guns to be bought....
I've been out all day, but Librarian covered it well in post 5.

And basically, it was all a "work-around" so one could buy an off-roster semi-auto. Yes, there are on-roster guns which would probably do what one wants, but sometimes a person just wants "that one" and will try to find a way to buy it, even if there's something else easily available that could do the job as well.

So yes, it was a lot of trouble, but there were plenty of folks who were willing to go through it to be able to have just what they wanted.

And of course the whole roster thing is silly and a terrible nuisance (although it's saved me a lot of money).
