Kinda necroposting, but still, level of machinegun tower is defined by the distance from the Sanctuary, so at Sanctuary, with no mods, max level is one and for Slog or Greentop Nursery it's 5, no matter how high is your own level.
fwiw, you don't have to actually place the turret, and then store in workshop to get a different variant. Just switch between Turret, and Heavy Turret, and their variant will change each time. So, go left / right in workshop mode between turret, heavy turret, and watch the model. You'll see the MK painted on the side and can get all of them, but it is really annoying that you can't just pick MK VII when you want it.
I'd be super happy if I could build MK7's in Sanctuary, Red Rocket, Sunshine Tidings (though there is a little spot towards the bottom where you can build 7's and move them anywhere else in the settlement). Because those settlements (and a few others) are in the early level area you can only build MK I
Only being able to place MK 7 turrets can be painful for your settlers, so I tend to put 7's on the outskirts of my settlement, and 3's or 5's inside.
