For starters, I searched for a thread like this but I did not find the information I was looking for. If anyone knows of a thread to check out, point me in the right direction please.
Now for my question.
I purchased a S&W 5.56 M&P rifle for sporting, duty use, and as a homestead defender. I am in the process of being hired as a sworn officer in SE Indiana by a local department. I know that one of the officers on the department has a fully automatic Colt M4 rifle that he personally owns and uses for duty use. What would it take to get my carbine fully auto legally? I know that after I get my credentials I can go through the law enforcement process which would be much easier and cheaper than by going by the sheepdog route and spending lots of $$$. I've heard that having a badge is an instant class III but better.
Would it be easier to purchase a new lower receiver and bolt carrier or would it be best to just convert mine by having someone machine out what isn't needed and put in the parts needed to have it FA?
Some may argue that a semi-auto is better but if I am ever raiding a house or serving a high profile warrant, I want to have something other than a semi auto for my own safety. FA FTW!
If anyone has any knowledge that would help me out I would appreciate it!
