I forgot to mention, I got a letter from BATF stating that basicly that since it is not registared and "For Personal use ONLY" that I can do what I want BUT I CANNOT convert it to full auto and has to stay in a semi mode only. I just wanted to ask you all since the BATF and the A.G. speak in riddles whan asked about this. Thanks again

Its just not supposed to be manufacturered with intent to sell. |

I noticed you are in California. Remember that you must follow the local laws in your area also.

Quoted: The AWB states that if I finish a 80%lower then I can never sell it because it is "For personal use ONLY" unless I go thru the paperwork. You must have a different AWB than the rest of us because 80% lowers aren't even mentioned in the 1994 AWB and it sure doesn't say anything about personal use only. |

this is a qoate I got "If you build your own firearm in this way, then you are acting as a firearms manufacturer which is perfectly legal as long as it is for personal use only. Much as it's legal to make all the homemade wine/beer that you want as long as it is not for resale....(well same basic idea anyway)."

The 'quote' you got was wrong. First, it is not part of the AWB. Second, you can not make or complete a firearm with the INTENT or for the PURPOSE of selling it. It doesn't say you can never sell it, just that you can't make it for the purpose of selling it. Making it with intent to sell is what makes you a manufacturer in the eyes of BATFE.
In any case, you have to deal with the requirements of Calif laws which only complicate the situation, if not prohibit the completion unless certain requirements are met (and probably approved) per the letter posted by Notack. |
