what is a manufacture?

I have an MP5 clone and the stock goes on with a pin, does this count a  manufacture? seems simple but nothing with ATF is ever 100% clear.

If this has been asked ad nauseum I apologize, I went to a public school so big words and concepts are difficult for me, unless it involves climate change and social justice

Not sure I understand your question.

But it you are asking if it is "manufacturing" an SBR to add a stock to a short-barreled MP5, the answer is yes.

Just like when you add a short barrel upper to a complete AR15 lower receiver (with stock), you are MANUFACTURING a short barreled rifle.

The AR parts attach with just pins too.  It doesn't matter.

Just be sure to get your tax stamp before you run around in public with a stock on it unless you like breaking the law, no matter how stupid the law.

Keep in mind there may be a legal difference between "make" and "manufacture".  The ATF form 1 is to "make" a firearm.  State law is somewhat up in the air as to "manufacture" for a SBR and doesn't define the term "manufacture".  ATF has been approving Form 1's for this state.

If you add a stock to a MP5 pistol you are "making" a SBR and need to have filed an ATF Form 1, have it approved and then engrave your "maker" info (as approved on the Form 1) on the firearm before you can run around with it.
