Just a few details on terms here might help.
Class 3 is a dealer in NFA firearms not the type of firearms.
Class 2 is a manufacturer of NFA firearms
NFA is the national firearms act of 1934 which defined machineguns, suppressors, short barreled rifles and shotgun and "any other weapons" or AOW's as controlled firearms requiring registration and payment of a tax for their transfer.
Title II is the section of US Code 18 which covers the laws for NFA firearms.
Title I is USC 18 covering non NFA firearms.
GCA is the gun control act of 1968 which further defined a firearm as the receiver or frame thereof and lead to the requirement for registration of DEWATs or Deactivated WAr Trophy's and also added the catagory of Destructive Device to the NFA registration list.
MVA or FOPA refers to the McClure Volkmer Act or Firearm Owners Protection Act and declared that firearms legally held in the owners state of residence could be transported across states that did not allow possession if the destination state allowed them. In other words Legal at home and legal at the destination means you can't be legally busted just for passing through.
There was more to the act and the big thing was the hughs amendment passed by a late night voice vote of socialist scum prohibiting the manufacture or sale of machineguns to civilians.
A lot of people refer to NFA firearms as class 3 and while not strictly correct its usually understood to mean NFA. They are also referred to more correctly as title II or title 2 or NFA.
As for your question about storage, there are no requirements for storage other than what was posted above by Rambler.
Hope that helps
