Ironically, well before the Hugh's Amendment, the prices of semi vs full auto were nearly identical.
The big difference being that you needed to go though with the whole NFA stamp thing and pay the extra 200 bux.
Back in the early 80's, not too many people bothered converting their Mac 10's to full auto because why bother spending 200 bux for your tax stamp for a 150 dollar gun.
So back then, the pricing on the semi vs full auto wasn't that much at all since to make them is the same process.
Heck, it was much easier making an open bolt ful auto Mac 10 than it is to make a closed bolt semi Mac 10. Cheaper too with open bolt full auto.
Note, it has been illegal to make open bolt guns since the early 80's unless they were full auto.
