Ok. I think I have got most of the fundamentals down. If I am incorrect about any of this class III stuff. Your help is very much appreciated.

I've been contemplating a foray into the class III world. This is what I understand to be the case.

The NFA And the GCA of 68 stops the sale, manufacture, and importation of full auto firearms in the US, which also applies to suppressors and SBR's. One can purchase a pre 68 full auto but at an exorbitant markup. No new full auto firearms can be sold to us measly civilians. Except if you have a LE letterhead. In which case it must be duty related. But if said letterhead is provided, the floodgates opens and you have access to just about anything up to .50 cal. Everything from Beretta 93r's to Grease guns, to Thompson's, to M4's, to full auto Uzis are yours at sensible prices.

But, for us civilians, a foray into the class III world pretty much allows us to get access to suppressor a, pre 68 guns(at exorbitant, mind boggling markups) , and maybe a full auto AR ( manufactured in the US). And that's really it.

Right?

'86 was the cutoff for full auto. 5/19 IIRC.

NFA includes SBRs, SBSs, MGs, DDs, AOWs and Silencers. Not sure if that's what you were asking or not.

The only thing required for your foray is money and patience.

Some states have additional blocks on what items you may own. Legal to civilian MG's were registered prior to '86. Hence the limited amount and high prices.

Go here (https://www.3gtactical.com/nfa/nfa-state-restrictions) to see what is allowed in your state. Looks like a Maryland civilian can get everything except explosive DD's (grenades/rockets/etc).
