The 922(o) ban on full-auto guns has an interesting exemption applicable to your scenario. The Left would be apoplectic if the end-run around their “semiautomatic assault weapon ban” (very carefully worded) let every Selective Service registrant (or whatever category specified) with a clean record buy new select-fire M4s at fair market value (about $1000). Go look up 922(o), exemption (2).
