quote:Is this true? From what little searching I did yesterday it appeared that it is illegal to manufacture your own gun without a license and it breaks another law to manufacture a gun without a serial number. They seemed to apply to private manufacturing as well. Of course it requires another license if you plan on selling guns as a business.
2) What are you going to do with all your lowers after you make them? If you build yourself a gun, you don't need numbers on it. If you sell it, you've got to put numbers on it.

Absolutely not true - you can make all the guns you want for your own use - as long as they're not machine guns, short-barreled rifles/shotguns, or destructive devices (ETA: I may be wrong about DDs, as well - they're defined as firearms).
You can (but are not required to) serial number your weapons. You are required to serial number a weapon you transfer, but to make weapons to sell, you must get licensed as a weapon manufacturer.

For your information, per provisions of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, an unlicensed individual may make a “firearm” as defined in the GCA for his own personal use, but not for sale or distribution.
The GCA, 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(3), defines the term “firearm” to include the following:
… (A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may be readily converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive: (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon; (C) any firearm muffler or silencer; or (D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.

Nearly every massacre committed in the US has been in a "Gun Free Zone"
Those signs sure are keeping the criminals out, eh?

Complete them?

Not going to sell them.
If your intent was to make a couple or 10 just to get familiar with how to make them, I'd say go right ahead. It just doesn't seem cost effective to me though unless you're going into some kind of production.
If you've got 10 unserialized ar-15s in your basement, you'd make the state news if your house was searched. If the po po doesn't understand CC laws, I'd think they'd go apeshit over a rifle with no numbers.
I've thought about it also, but it just seems like it would be more trouble for an inferior product.

Or allow the children to complete theirs, and when we're done with all that sell the mill?
I mean cost-benefit analysis might have to include the value of owning "no paperwork" weapons.
