Quote History Quoted:
As with everything involving the ATF I have read conflicting opinion letters on the subject. One letter said no it did not apply, the other said it did.
Some say that 922r's original intent was to limit manufacturers and not individuals... however when one Form 1's a weapon they are the manufacturer of record.
As with anything involving the government straight answers are hard to find and I take the stance of better safe than sorry. But that is only opinion and not "fact".

while the above is true, there really is not a real world example of 922(r) being applied to individuals as the BATF does not have the assets to enforce the regulation, and local jurisdictions lack the expertise to tell the difference between a piece of plastic made in the USA or Switzerland. slap a Swiss folder on it and be done. cousin of a close friend is an BATF agent and had no clue what 922(r) was when brought up in a conversation. slap a swiss folder on it and be done.
