I am not sure if this is the proper place for this question so if it's not, can someone please move it to where it needs to go? This was found on another site and I'm not sure if this guy is correct or not. I have heard that if you have a lic. you can make your own but I've never heard that just anyone can build their own. "A American who can legally own firearms can build his/her own with out any paper work. it does not have to be registered. It is suggested that it has a ID number to identify it if it stolen. You can go to the BATF site. This is US Laws and individual State laws may be different, extra legal requirements or limitations. A person can buy a rough casting of a AR receiver, they can cast their own or they can buy one that is less than 80 % completed without paper work. Keep in mind all NFA laws pertain. You can not make a full auto. Also there are Federal Firearm License that allows for building, that is a different situation. Two legal firearms, built from parts kit, one was a torch cut reweld. Both semi auto conversion, One also has a closed bolt conversion. Open bolts are illegal except where licensed." |

Suggest you review the term "80% lowers" in your favorite search engine....... Hope you are a good machinist too. mike ps - yes is the answer to your question and nope no markings are necessary, but then most built in this manner are NEVER sold, but retained by the builder |
sorry for being ignorant on this stuff. Let's just say that you machined a lower, no numbers, etc..... can sell that to me or how would that work? or what if an ATF agent wants to verify it... blah blah blah. Sorry for so many questions. |
It's advised you do not sell firearms you manufactured yourself. How will they know? I don't know, but I wouldn't want to find out. |
It's really not something I want to do myself but I saw on a different website what I posted above and the guy came across like it's no big deal. Personally, I'd rather not have to worry about going thru a bunch of BS should someone notice a weapon with no s/n on it. |
