Assuming that you are a resident of the US- First steps would be to insure that you meet the legal requirements to purchase a firearm- the disqualifying conditions are the same for full auto or a single shot, and to determine if YOUR state permits private ownership of full autos- some states do not. Having cleared those two hurdles, your next will be to find a firearms dealer in your home state that holds a Class III license- Class III is the term for full autos. The transfer of ownership will pass through that dealer. You will apply to the BATFE for transfer of the weapon, and pay a transfer tax of $200 (plus the dealer's fees) You will need to submit fingerprints along with the application, and a written approval from your local Chief Law Enforcement Officer (Chief of Police, Sheriff, etc). IF the transfer is being made to a legal trust, that is not required. After BATFE completes your background investigation, you may take possession of the weapon. You may ALSO have a state registration requirement- varies from state to state. I would also mention that a full auto rifle can be incredibly expensive- Law changed in 1986. ONLY those full autos already registered to a private citizen can be transferred to a private citizen- no new full autos. As a result, prices have gone out of sight.
