You should talk to a lawyer (not me) about this. Even posting this on a public website without a masked IP address is a risk for your uncle. The ATF has a hard on for going after peaceful citizens for NFA violations and the penalty is 10 years in prison per guilty count.

If it was not registered pre-1986, it is contraband and you cannot own it. I wouldn't get myself or my kids anywhere near it if you come to discover that it is not registered; it's akin to being around a $50,000 pile of heroin.

Source: I have a decent amount of experience with the NFA, trusts, and full auto weapons. There are sometimes ways to donate it to a museum, etc.

This is not legal advice.

Just want to say thanks for all the helpful responses. The rest of you....well, y’all are an entertaining lot.

Once I know for sure what it is that he has, I will contact an attorney that specializes in firearm law. My dad just told me that he thinks it is a Vietnam bring-back that someone sold to my uncle in the 80’s. So, I really don’t know what the F it is right now. We shall see.....
