If your buying it in your home state it usually will take @ 2 months. If you are buying it from out of state, you can double the time because it will take two transfers.
You are obviously not a federally licensed manufacturer or dealer, so you will not be able to convert a semi to full auto. Some members on this board are licensed to do so, but it is for Military or Law Enforcement sales or demonstration, not for civilians.
When you are looking for one, you see tags like "transferable" or "pre 86". That's what you'll be looking for. Expect to pay @ $15,000 or more for a transferable AKM. Most likely it will be Chinese or a converted Chinese. Don't bother looking at the "post 86" or "dealer sample" machine guns.

That's pretty much the process, consider purchasing through a revocable living trust as well. No finger prints or local signoffs. I know you want an AK, so you're kind of stuck on the price.

It's an AK action and it's only $12k, problem is that it's .308 which is about 2x more expensive to shoot.
