I believe with the BAR that the entire receiver is the machinegun. At least the ones I've seen that have been demilled have the entire receiver torch-cut. You used to see parts kits with the demilled receiver for the BAR, but I don't see too many of those around these days. I've also seen a couple of semi-auto BAR's, but that was over 10 years ago, and I think they were going for close to $2,000 then.

On the lower end, you might be able to find a BAR for about $17,000....on the high end, I'd say about $25,000

The answer to your last question is "no". It is illegal for you to convert any semi-auto weapon into a full-auto weapon and there are no exceptions, permits, registrations, etc. that will permit you to do this.
