when a museum has a machine gun on display such as stuff from WWI or WWII and is marked as being deactivated does the atf still keep track of them? the museum in Hastings has several machine guns from the wars as had them for well over 50 years. it is hard to tell if some of the parts have been removed or something else has been done to deactivate them. there is a Thompson , BAR , Browning 30 , a couple of German guns and a M-16 with the charging handle in the carrying handle with the bakelite forearm.
