i probably could, but then i couldnt go to a public shoot with a 'homemade'. that would be a quick boot in the ass straight to jail

you dont need a full FFL. basically what you are doing is paying a $200.00 for a 'tax stamp', a mother of a background check, and a signoff from the local sheriff or DA that gives you the greenlight for permission.
you are now the registered owner of a
single class III item (automatic weapon/silencer/whatever) and that particular item is registered to you. if you break it, the original manufacturer must be the one to do the repairs, and if necessary transfer the serial number (if you broke it that bad) to a new item of the same descripton. if you lose it... well.. time for a new tax stamp
.
as for C&W licenses, those are pretty damn cool. basically it is a 'joe average' FFL. you can order complete vintage firearms via the mail, and skip the background check process when buying a valid item. i would like to get one of those myself.
