80% reciever question

[jylederman]

Ok, so I ran across some of these while looking for a 10/22 an AR receiver. My question is if you we're to buy one of these wouldn't you have to hold an FFL as a manufacturer to legally make them a functional receiver? I'm pretty sure of my abilities, I just don't want to drop the money and invest the time just to find out that I legally can't.

you can make as many as you want as long as you dont intend on selling them.

Definately for personal use. Don't want the headache of dealing with the ATF.

Check my posts, I machined one from a blank. Having done that 80% is the way to go
I'd give you a link but I'm using my phone to post

I have built (in semiauto) AKs, amd65s, an RPK, psl, Sten, a 1919 browning and some black powder stuff. Back years ago when i started messing around with it, it used to be said that you could build as many as you want, and sell up to three a year. Have no idea if that's right, as I don't like selling them.

You are not supposed to sell them. You can make as many as you want. ATF SUGGESTS that you label them with your name and location of manufacture as well as come up with a numbering system, but just in case it is stolen. Your decision.

I believe you are not supposed to make them for re-sale without the proper licenses. However, if you put a 1919 semi-Browning kit together and then one day decide you no longer want to hang on to it, you are allowed to sell it like any other semi-auto.

Rimfire Central RimfireCentral.com - Rimfire Community! would be the best place to get info on this. If your question is related to 10/22s RFC will have the answer. I'm sure there are guys there who have done the 80% receivers.

It depends, doesn't it always in the law?

Door 1 or 2?

DOOR 1: I want to make my own TITLE ONE firearm and not have it enter the stream of commerce (i.e., I'm going to keep it and shoot it my own darn self), then NO FFL.

DOOR 2: I want to make them and re-sell them for my bidness, get FFL.

Just looked up how to anodize them, and ordered the missing pieces. You can finish an 80%, no paperwork, no FFL, nothing, but you can't sell it, not even 3/yr. Serial number is optional but suggested; I think I'm going to put date codes on them just so I can tell them apart down the road. The fixture should be of much help in machining.

Evil did you find someone to anodize? I'm looking for anodizing and engraving to finish mine. I am hoping for local since sending one somewhere to be finished would seem dicey at best with no real serial number and manufacturer.

In this thread Nucular said Industrial Anodizing may be able to do it...
