| I've got 0% forgings on the way. You guys say that I don't have to mark them in any way or report them to anyone. OK, say that I've got them done, rifles built and life is good. Along comes Mr. ATF and wants to know where I got my receivers with no record or markings. what do I say. |

Quoted: I made it myself, for my own use. There is no law against that is there officer? Download the current BATF manual and look in the frequent questions section. Find the one about personal use and serial numbers. Print those and keep in the butt stock of the rifle... I don't recall which question(s) (or their number) they were, but when I read it, it says in there, that a user is allowed to "make" a firearm for personal use. That is, one that that does not have markings or a serial number, assuming the completed firearms is not going to be sold. |

With certain exceptions a firearm may be made by a nonlicensee provided it is not for sale and the maker is not prohibited from possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from making a semiautomatic assault weapon or assembling a nonsporting semiautomatic rifle or nonsporting shotgun from imported parts. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and approval by ATF. An application to make a machinegun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for a federal or state agency. [18 U. S. C. 922( o), (r), (v), and 923, 27 CFR 178.39, 178.40, 178.41 and 179.105] [url]http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#a7[/url] |
