You can't, not for a 3 round burst (unless you buy an already registered, transferable receiver or registered drop in auto sear) No new machine guns and that's what a 3 round burst is, have been available to civilians since the Firearm Owners Protection act of 1986. Only those machine guns that were legally registered prior to May 20, 1986 may be transfered to civilans. Which means we're talking about 1000s of dollars, like 12-15 K for a legal, transferable M-16 |

Why is this shit coming up all the time?
I mean when I bought my first AR I was only 20 years old and somehow I knew that FA or lol "3 round Burst" were probably illegal and or very very expensive. I Did a little reading, very little reading, and discovered everything I needed to know on the subject. I check in on the AR discussion threads everyday to hopefully learn something and maybe give some input as well, and everyday there is some idiot post about FA. What is wrong with people Sorry got a little carried away., OP its in your best interest to forget this subject, unless your really rich or dgaf about going to jail Rant off...

| I really hate that questionably passed 86 machine gun ban. I bought a NIB registered Colt M16A1 in 1982 for $549.00 plus the transfer tax. It sold for $100 more than the price of the AR-15 Sporter 1. I did make a 12K profit when I sold it in 2006, but still wish it was like the good old days. |

Not to make you feel old or nothing but I wasn't born to enjoy that time frame. But at that price which I bet seemed like a lot more back then, who would want anything but a full auto. |

There was only one AR-15 on the market at the time, the Colt Sporter 1, which was selling for $449 in 1982. I bought my first Sporter in 1974 for $219. Don't worry about making me feel old, still not at the point where I'm collecting social security, lol. And by the way, you could buy a new Maremont M-60 MG for $5000, or a Rock Island Armory version of the M-60(Springfield Armory Inc.) for $3500 |

With the CPI's from 1986 and 2008, a $1000 in 2008 would roughly be $509 in 1986. So a $1000 AR sold today would've been sold for $509 in 1986. Not sure if this has anything to do with anything. I was bored and started thinking about my macro econ class. That's about right. I remember I bought my 1987 Corvette for $ 27,000 new (sold it 4 months later) |

Thats about $24,838 in 2008 dollars.
My dad bought a 1972? i think, Corvette for $6000, about $30000 2008 dollars. He paid Cash. The guys at the dealership thought he was a drug dealer. He then sold his corvette in 1974 for $6500 and bought a John Deere tractor. lol. I wish he still had that car but am more glad for the farm today. Sorry this isn't tech discussion but this thread is bogus anyways |

I think new Vettes go for about 50K now |

I am just basing the dollar amounts off of a CPI conversion website, sure they're not exactly right and the prices have probably risen without inflation. So im just saying. |

So the guy is a troll because he is ignorant about NFA laws & has a low post count? Nope. Matter of fact, since he is asking about how to do it legally, I see no trolling. However, as noted, he is 23 years late to the game.
Bottom line to the OP: You cannot legally do that. Congress closed off all "new" MGs on May 19, 1986. The only way you can legally have three-round burst is to buy an existing receiver made and registered prior to that date (market price: $9k for a conversion to $15k for a factory Colt) or a full-auto M16 conversion device (RDIAS: market price $12k).
