You can't give them to relatives fo storage.

Yep, you sure can.
You can leave a suppressor or any other NFA item with a friend or relative. You must place the NFA item in a locked container which only you retain the key. You send a letter to ATF stating where you are storing the NFA item. You must leave a copy of your ATF FORM 1 or 4 with the person storing you weapons in case some problem comes up.
NOTE: If you are merely leaving them at your home with your wife, there is no requirement other than your wife must not have access to the NFA item. Lock in an a safe or storage container and you are good to go. ATF already knows where they are being stored.

Questions/Answers
(M23) If an individual is changing his or her State of residence and the individual’s application to transport the NFA firearm cannot be approved, what options does a lawful possessor have?
NFA firearms may be left in a safe deposit box in his or her former State of residence. Also, the firearm could be left or stored in the former State of residence at the house of a friend or relative in a locked room or container to which only the registered owner has a key. The friend or relative should be supplied with a copy of the registration forms and a letter from the owner authorizing storage of the firearm at that location. The NFA Branch must be notified of the location at which the firearms are stored.
