Most of the time, and I'm sure that I'm not alone, i lump NFA restricted arms in with illegal weapons. I don't mean to confuse issues or show ignorance, the fact is that certain weapons cannot be legally owned without a special permit for each weapon. The owner of unregistered NFA registered weapons are still violating laws and face prosecution and penalties.
I understand that manufacturing these weapons can only be done by special permit as well, whether it's the home gunsmith or a large scale maker, and those makers must provide the non standard weapons ONLY to resellers or individuals that have proper credentials.
I don't know enough about laws to go any farther.
I do have something to add, however, it seems that black powder doesn't fall under those restrictions. weapons change a lot of that. A blach powder blunderbuss that would ordinarily be restricted, say because of a short barrel, doesn't fall under those restrictions. I could be wrong, this is second hand, I did not read this directly.
