[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Pistol Question

If I was to manufacture my own AK out of a reciever flat would I be able to build it into a pistol even though im 19? Because the law states at 18 I can posses a pistol but I cant purchase one from a licensed dealer. I just dont know if it applies when manufacturing your own firearm.

Maybe first I should ask can you build a AK pistol out of a reciever flat?

i am no lawyer...and i don't play one on the net, but i would think that you could build one. you are violatining no law as far as 'buying' one goes. the flat is not a receiver so i would guess that you could legally assemble it.

Thats what I was thinking but I wouldnt want to be a "test case". Maybe I will write a letter to the ATF technology brach concerning this.

DO THIS ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK, THEREDHORSEMAN ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS.

I'd say build it and be happy. thats just my $0.02

I plan on an AMD65 pistol build from a flat this winter (parts on hand). But I am not 18 or in FL, so your rules may vary.
