A Palm Coast man was sentenced Thursday to nearly four-and-a-half years in federal prison for the possession and transfer of machine guns.
Robert Castillo, 45, pleaded guilty in August to selling 10 firearm accessories, called auto switches.
The auto switches are designed to turn a semi-automatic Glock handgun into an automatic weapon.
Castillo sold the switches to his co-conspirator, Chad Talbot, who then resold them to a convicted felon.
Talbot has also pleaded guilty. He will be sentenced next month.
