IOW, you could have a fullauto sear in your safe without any other gun parts in your possession and you would still be facing some time in the Fed pen if you don't have the proper paperwork. Doesn't matter if they are installed in a wooden mockup or even papier-mache one....
at least that's my recollection of things from some years back...

x2 That's a big Federal ATF law no-no. Good, quality jail time with Bubba forthcoming from doing that.
IT would be considered a Title 2 weapon as per the National Firearms Act, ir the 1968 Gun Control Act.
What are title 2 weapons might you ask?
NFA weapons are: machine guns, sound suppressors (a.k.a. silencers), short barreled shotguns, short barreled rifles, destructive devices and "any other weapons".
Here's a snip on even owning just the parts, like your bro wants to try
In addition, as a general rule, a parts kit, i.e. all of the parts to assemble an NFA firearm, whether a parts kit is specifically included in the statute or not, is usually considered to be the same as the assembled firearm.
Here's ,a snip of the punishment portion of the NFA if he gets caught
A conviction for a violation of the NFA will result in a felony conviction, punishable by up to ten years in prison, and/or a $10,000 fine. See 26 U.S.C. sec. 5871. The U.S. Sentencing Guidelines ordinarily require prison time, even for a first offense with no prior criminal record, however various mitigating and aggravating factors can raise or lower the possible sentence range for a first offense.
And that's just federal law, I'm sure Kaliforniastan has something to go along with it once the feds are done with him.
Just to ask a stupid question, if the gas system is to be rendered inop, what would be the point of putting a full auto control group in there in the first place?
That is, aside from the future consideration to break Federal law and covert it back to full auto at a later date.
You need to have a little talk to your brother there Marine
