The FFL is required for the Rifle and/or the kit which includes the receiver. Neither appears to be available at this time, even to an FFL. Seems to be a disagreement with ATF over configuration. You can build your own rifle, as long as you start with a serial # receiver and the rifle configuration does not violate Federal or State law. To make a receiver you need to be a licensed manufacturer.

I believe it is legal to occasionally build your own gun from scratch, for your own personal use. But I'd check with the ATF first.
I'd love to try it if I had free access to a good machine shop, and a lot of time to learn. I'd also start with .22LR, not .50BMG, and work my way up, to avoid getting my head blown off if I screw up. |

The laws for .50s are the same as any for other guns. But, I suspect that will change before too long.

Quoted: Is this correct?

Building you own from the Maadi Griffin plans means machining your rifle out of chunks of steel, not assembling "standard" components.
