Federal requirements only require the gun to be registered on a Form 4.
Some states (including Michigan) require a person to have a federal license to own a NFA weapon, so such owners have to have some sort of FFL -- and a class 3 FFL (curio and relics) is easiest to bother with.

1986 -- but you can still own post-86 guns on a Form 3 if you are a "Special Occupational Taxpayer".
(If the government set up militias for us to join, we'd be able to have them on a Form 10.....
