2. The safety can have 3 positions (not 3 clicks):
a. Up: Safe
b. Middle: Automatic
c. Down: Semi-automatic

Again, just because the safety can move to a middle position does not mean that it's capable of full-auto fire.
So... the best way to tell is to :fire :fire :fire and see what happens?
Oh, I'm sorry - did I happen to say something that stupid?
No, I made a joke and forgot to include enough smilies.

If you are worried about the ammo and it is not in boxes/crates, get a big duffle bag with two zippers and put a little padlock through it to say you locked it up.

Does Texas still have the rule about buying rifles from dealers from states that don't touch Texas? Would that technically require transfer?
Dunno, but in this case he's not *buying* them, so it theoretically shouldn't apply if that's all this hypothetical law references.
