As were ALL "US built" machineguns that were registered under the 1934 GCA. Just as today you can file a "form 1" and made your own suppressor, sbs or sbr, before that evil day in 1986 once you had your approved Form 1 you could make your own SMG as well. And while we're on the subject, the law is Unconstitutional. The 1934 GCA requires paying $200 to make/register your own machinegun; the 1986 FOPA Act, makes it illegal for the Fed's to accept the $200 tax of new US made machineguns. So which is it? This EXACT scenario was true for the Marijuana Tax Act until it was challenged and ruled Unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court in 1970. All of this was done under a "taxing scheme" because people back then KNEW the government couldn't tell them what they can and can't own, the idea the government could flat out BAN something was and is the anti-thesis of Liberty.

Prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act, foreign made MGs could be imported and registered by John Q Public. In 1967, Bob could order a Sterling SMG or a buy a surplus MG-08 from some arms dealer in Europe and import it to the US. After the GCA, only Dealer Samples could be imported.

And the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 was declared unconstitutional in Leary v. United States not because of the tax, but because to apply for a tax stamp, it required self-incrimination, which violated the Fifth Amendment since you had to be in possession of marijuana to apply for the stamp.

That portion of the law was declared unconstitutional, not the tax portion. And it was replaced by Congress with the passage of the Controlled Substances Act as Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, which repealed the 1937 Act.
