I haven't been able to get a clear answer about this.
Can a PostDealer (or pre-dealer)Sample that has been converted to semi-auto be transferable to civilians... Does it lose it's "Machine-gun" status when you remove the FA fire control parts? What about for example... say a Post HK MP5 (or clone) converted to Semi... is it now just a SBR or does it need to comply with any provisions of 922 for "sporting purposes" if indeed it was imported? HK makes and sells a Semi only version of the MP5 and UMP... Why cant we transfer those as SBR on form 4s? What about a parts kit and domestic reciever like the Hk clones made by BobcatWeapons in AZ... Once it is registered as a Post Dealer ClassIII MG does that status(Post Dealer) stick? Can a civilian ever own a postdealer converted to semi?

just curious...
