They are legal to own. They are NFA items. That means you register them and buy a tax stamp. Same as a machinegun, suppressor or DD.
Ok. Show me where requirementment to register and buy a tax stam is different.Quote:

If the reciever is marked M2 , then it is unregisterable . Strip it and turn the reciever and FA parts over to them and have them do a record check . If it is regestered to your father , it will be transfered to the heir if they meet the conditions on a tax free form 5 . If not , it's gone .Quote:

Either way you'll have a m1 parts kit or an m1 rifle out of it .
In the shotgun above , the barrels make it a SBS . You can still register these . Give the barrels to someone to hold , register it , assemble back when approval recieved . Works IF noone knows . Opps ...too late now .

I think trying to register an original M6 with NFA would be dicey to say the least. They'd send someone to pick it up unless it had a registration that was lost and then found in the database. It would be considered contraband if it hadn't been registered during the amnesty. You can register a NEW production SBR or AOW but not one that's been in existence for 40-50 years but I could be wrong. I saw an H&R M4 survival rifle in .22 Hornet that was purchased off a gun show table many years ago with no paperwork. Big no-no but folks seem to think that since they aren't MG's that there's no restriction on them.
