When my pop died, I inherited his collection of guns.  He was in WW2 and in Korea and apparently back then, marines and soldiers could bring back stuff much easier than nowadays.  He brought back various french and german guns, and a handfull of polish nagants.  From Korea he brought back a few Russian pistols and one SKS and one Japanese gun called a Shiki something.  One of the guns in his collection was a funky thing called a Chauchat, which turned out to be a machine gun.  Since it was an historical collection, the attorney in probate required everything to be listed and values estimated.  Unfortunately the Chaucat and the Shiki were determined to be an MG and we had to surrender them.   No telling what they were worth, but the field office said they would likely be bandsawed.  :-/

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

You are allowed to own machine guns.  ;)
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I do. ;D

But I can see problems with leftover war "souvenirs" that meet Class III regs that have no traceable "ownership" and NFA paper trail. The question is who did they get turned over to and who alledgedly bandsawed them up? ATF? The Boy Scouts? The PTA? [bang] Curious minds want to know. My wife has asked what happens to my stuff if I die in a car wreck tomorrow? All I can tell her is there will be a line outside our door that wraps around the block! [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

If the souvenirs didn't meet the class III regs, then they would be tucked away.  ;)

Of course.  But there was no registration amnesty available.  They had never been registered.

My uncle surrendered them to the ATF field office.  He asked if they could do something with them like sell them to a museum and was told they "would be bandsawed."

You are glad they band-sawed the Chauchat....they were legendary pieces of shit machine-guns developed by committee in Fraunce by Fraunchmen....

they disassembled themselves between jammings if they were able to cycle long enough

The WW1 doughboys had them dumped on them by the Fraunch in mandatory exchange for the viable ordnance the Yanks brought over from the States

After armistice the Fraunch unloaded them on other unsuspecting nations...

probably ones that ultimately became Eastern European Com Bloc nations after WW2...

who promptly discovered what incredible pieces of shit they were and unloaded them on the ChiComs or N. Koreans as assistance

It would have been nice to keep it even as a dewat.  My pop had disassembled it and mailed it back.  It was just a connection with his life.  I am sure it was in some weird caliber anyhow, like 7.2344mm Poodle or ?

No they actually made some very high quality 03A3's....not a lot of them....the earliest ones of their 2 year production run had 6 groove barrels produced by Hi-Standard....(makers of some of the best GI M1911 barrels back when)

yes correct...the rimmed round necessitated a magazine that was almost a full circular shape
