A good first step will be to check with a gun dealer in the area where YOU live (we don't know that, since you did not specify). MOST states in the US do not have "registration" of firearms, other than machine guns. SOME do, and the process varies from state to state. We also have questions here from around the world- and the process is different for England and Alabama.

How can someone find out if a gun is registered as Class 3 and if it is how can he get it registered in his own name?

The owner of a registered Class III firearm, such as a machinegun, should have a copy of the registration paperwork from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE, or ATF for short). In some cases, such as when an owner dies, the heirs may have difficulty locating the paperwork. The executor of the estate can contact the ATF, and they can conduct a records search. IF the firearm has already been registered, it may be transferred by the ATF to an heir without a transfer tax. IF the firearm is not already registered, it cannot BE registered, and must be surrendered to the ATF for destruction. STRONG NOTE OF CAUTION- Possessing an unregistered Class III firearm is a serious offense, punished by 10 years in prison. If you have a Class III firearm that you are unsure of it's legality, you should contact an attorney that is familiar with the National Firearms Act for assistance AT ONCE.
