Transferring a home manufactured receiver is a no-no…you MUST have a Class II license to manufacture receivers for anything other than personal use. Then, even if you retain possession, I’m almost certain it is illegal to transport the finished product across state lines. I’d have to check on the last one but I seem to recall it from my look into building a few homebrew guns.

“And Cube, I like that for Serial Number prefix!”

I think you may be right on that. A little to simple for a logo, but just right for a serial number prefix.

I was going more for a brand style type logo instead of a complicated picture identifier.

And Cube, I like that for Serial Number prefix! BTW, making your own doesn’t require a serial number but most dealers won’t transfer them without one.

Does it need to go through a dealer?

Across state lines, yes as it will be a finished receiver and thus a firearm.

Wouldn�t a face to face transfer not require a dealer?

Only if a resident of TN.

did you need a special tax stamp to manufacture them?

To manufacture, you need to be a licensed manufacturer. However, anyone can generally make them for personal use if state law doesn’t prohibit it and you’re not making a machine gun, silencer, SBR, AOW or non-sporting-imported firarm.

What kind of paper work is invovled on your end - to make the lower?

None, for personal use.

finding a dealer willing to transfer a �homemade� lower.

Does it need to go through a dealer? Wouldn’t a face to face transfer not require a dealer? I mean if the winner were in Tennessee. Not sure if you have to be a resident of Tennessee (as a Virginia Resident I can generally purchase a long gun in Tennessee but not a handgun)

Also, did you need a special tax stamp to manufacture them? What kind of paper work is invovled on your end - to make the lower?

Obligatory Roundup Entry
This was intended for posting on 6/8/05. It wouldn’t be a blog if it didn’t have posts that simply linked to other posts on other blogs, which in turn link to other sources, so…

I was going to suggest Robert’s idea! Damn.

My other thought was to make it look like a US issue M16 - whatever it is those reciever say, try to replicate it as close as possible.

I’d put the twin towers on them. Second choice would be the Don’t Tread On Me snake.

Only problem is finding a dealer willing to transfer a ‘homemade’ lower.

Cool. Perhaps you might even offer to have one of the lowers manufactured for the winner (or give the winner the option of buying one).

What kind of BATF process do you have to go through to do this?
