I have owned three. The reliability was good and they were fun to drive and easy to work on but for serious off-road, the approach angles were terrible and we beat them to death.
It is a great motor but underpowered considering 14 gearboxes(!), all time 6x6, and the brakes and steering hydraulics are one with three pressurized accumulator bottles. The gearbox and clutch are the weakpoint for sure. Neat vehicle but really complex.
This has nothing to do with the law. You cannot reassemble the breech, even welded into a lump, without an approved Form 1. I have dealt with the BATF&E for 25 years on this topic, which has changed over the years.
Good luck on your move. You need to add the brokerage fees to your list. Also, I would be very careful discussing rewelding the breech. Without an approved Form 1, you're suggesting a felony violaton of the NFA with 10 years/$50,000 fine.
