And, it's important to remember that individuals in Military and LE cannot buy post 86 Title II arms. Only Agencies can. The only "individual" that can own post 86 is a museum's incorporation (as a non-corporeal entity).

Not true.
FFL/SOT's who operate their business as a sole proprietor have their FFL and SOT issued in their name.
All they would need to acquire a post 86 MG is a law letter. If the seller is an FFL/SOT going out of business, no law letter is required for 07FFL/SOT's.

Well, yes, I thought about including that tiny minority in a narrow aspect, but opted for simplicity and brevity.
Which, I should have made clear in the post. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

.... that tiny minority......

01FFL sole proprietors probably outnumber corporations, LLC and partnerships.

I wish. Worth reading the financials for the Cody Firearms museum

And, museum is complicated. Ian actually has some good videos on this, on just what a firearms museum's purpose is. It is to preserve items in their historical context, or preserve them as working materiel, or just as static displays per a given curator's context. These things matter. In a static display, a dummy receiver suffices. In other circumstances a shot-up MG is entirely appropriate. It's a topic of some debate by curators and museum operators. Is it right to "back convert" a M1919A6 for a WWI display? Do you break welds, and actual, historical, changes to replicate a given era? (This is a very huge issue for armor and ship museums.) It's a can of worms, and I do not envy them for opening them.
