OP is likely screwed.
"For example, a machinegun that has a part known as a “disconnect” added to it, which prevents the weapon from firing more than one shot by a single function of the trigger, remains a machinegun because it can be “readily restored” to shoot automatically by filing down the disconnect. See United States v. Alverson, 666 F.2d 341, 344-45 (9th Cir. 1982). This Court concluded in United States v. One TRW, Model M14, 7.62 Caliber Rifle, 441 F.3d 416 (6th Cir. 2006), that a weapon “made from cut-up M-14s,” id. at 424, also fit within this definition."

The ATF and courts consider a brand new gun made from welding cut up/destroyed M14 receivers is still a MG. No way an intact gun with just a blob of weld over the selector switch will magically not be one.
