prolly a sear gun. during my search for a M16 ive run across two main types. you can normally tell by the price whether its a registered reciever or just a registered sear. 11k$ range M14s ive always seen are just registered sears.
i came across one registered reciever M14 at 19,000$ __________________

Hey, any constitution that acknowledges the people have a right to own weapons so that they may defend themselves -- including from an out-of-control government -- is OK by me...bkt

People get the government they deserve. | |

full auto. registered sear. 11k$ is the typical asking price and a M14 is a full auto weapon. i cant imagine a semi auto only firearm will hit 11,000$.
a sear gun is a semi-auto that has been converted to select fire with the registered part being the auto-sear itself. thoe arent as desirable as a registered reciever and usually its around half the price of a select fire registered reciever.
if you break wear down or lose the sear on a registered reciever gun you can just buy a new one for a few$ and replace it. if the sear itself is the registered NFA part you cant replace it on loss or damage.
so from your info given above and the description and price im assuming thats a NFA firearm due mainly to price. __________________

Thanks for the explaination but this is an Australian ad, so what you see is what you get. A regular old semi-auto only M1A for near-on $12,000. If you're so inclined you may also purchase a good conditioned Colt AR-15 for $18,000 and a NIB Remmy R-25 will set you back $21,000.. 
Now doesn't that just make you wanna move here straight away!?  | |

Can you import guns for personal use Aus? You can get a new Springfield M1A for under 2k or a pretty nice M1 Garand for around $700. here.
...Or can you be gifted a gun? __________________

Unfortunately not CA, an individual cannot import a gun for personal use. Even if I could, a 'Category D' licence would then be required to register it to me, which is only obtainable if you are able to prove that your main stream of income comes from professional shooting (by way of Stat Dec from accountant etc).
Here's a table of our ridiculous licencing laws:

I've got an A/B licence, even to own a 'Cat C' I'd have to own at least 1000 acres and have proof of a significant pest problem | |
