Gun People: question for you.

Just out of curiosity, if I actually wanted to buy this, what kind of permits/paperwork/cash/etc would it take?

It's full-auto, BTW.

You need a Class 3 Federal Firearms License (FFL).

Oh, and a Thompson like that, remanufactured or new look a like is a minimum of $5000.

The FFA you're talking about is probably not this one, huh?

I've shot one of those (they are sweet) that my dealer had before moving away
After you get over the cost (he paid about $5500 for his), there's an ATF tax stamp ($200), a background check that takes about 6 months, and IIRC you need a clearance letter from your county sheriff or someone in the DA's office. Depending on the state, you can bypass the sheriff bit if you form a LLC and transfer ownership to the corporation as long as you're an officer on the "board".
Edit: You don't need a class 3 license UNLESS you plan on selling class 3 weapons.

For such an expensive gun it really comes in a pos box

Are you still in California? In that case I don't think you can have it at all. Stupid California...

As Prong said, you don't need an FFL unless you're selling firearms.
