I have limited experience with BATFE and other "Feds" but I know that like most cops they don't like wiseguys. If someone gets caught with an unregistered machinegun and has not committed, or had the intent to commit, any other crime, the odds are that he will get a good lecture, his "project" will be confiscated, and he will be sent home to think about the error of his ways. But the guy who tries to outsmart them by claiming that his bright idea is really not a law violation, and that they are mentally deficient for even thinking about interfering with his fun, is going to be in line for a lot of interesting discussion, some of which might be with a cellmate.

Those regulations were written by lawyers, with the help of the BATFE Tech Division, guys who have handled and fired more machineguns than most of us have ever seen, including kinds you never even read about. Believe it or not, they really do know what they are talking about, and anyone planning to outsmart them better have some second thoughts.
