Nope. The law requires that you file a Form 1 to make an NFA item and BATFE will not approve legal manufacture of a machinegun since it can no longer be registered. Of course, illegal manufacturing might be done, but we all know that no one would ever violate the law; if they did that, gun control laws wouldn't work.
