It was mentioned above on how to legalize one...
Quote:
A non-FFL who makes firearms for personal use and without the intent to sell them doesn't have to put any markings on the gun. These guns can legally be transferred, sold, traded, gifted, inherited, etc.
These guns can NOT be legally sold without first inscribing a serial number, maker's name, and maker's location.
Check out this letter from the ATF:
http://www.hoffmang.com/firearms/BAT...2004-11-09.pdf
Specifically on page 2 where it states:
Quote:
...a non-licensee may make a semiautomatic rifle for his or her own personal use. As long as the rifle remains in the custody of the person who manufactured it, the firearm need not be marked with a serial number or name and location of the manufacturer. However, if the firearm is transferred to another party at some point in the future, the firearm must be marked in accordance with the provisions set forth in 27 CFR 478.92 (formerly 178.92).
So, if you see a home-built firearm for sale, or owned by anyone other than the original builder, and it doesn't have a serial number, manufacturer's name and location, it is contraband.

We have been selling the 80%'s in ar-15 and .308 type "paperweights" for a while with no problems. Currently I know of a company making the jigs and supplying bits for those to complete. Not sure what the cost is going to be but it won't cost an ounce of gold.
