As far as I know since their contraption doesn't meet the definition so it isn't a machine gun. So unless the definition is changed it is legal.
The reason you can't buy them over the counter is simply because you have to wait for the tax stamp. Otherwise it is just like purchasing any other firearm. I have several NFA items at the house and the procedure for SBR's, suppressors, SBS and machine guns is exactly the same.

Well, except your local CLEO doesn't normally get a vote in whether you can own the non-Class III stuff.
And you do not have to submit fingerprints, Form 4s, wait months for ATF approval, etc., etc. to get regular firearms.
