Yes we could I remember buying Ak rifles H and K. Ar-15s we hunted with them. I shot my first moose with a converted auto H and K G3 in .308. The ground hogs once feared me in the 90s with my unregistered non restricted colt delta elite match grade ar -15 heavy barrel. They banned the ak and all the h and k but there are hundreds out there guys simply said #### you and kept them civically disarmament is not possible
