Building a weapon

[Guest Grot]

If i was to buy a Complete parts kit, and a Reciever; that would be everything i need to create a LEGAL firearm, correct?

Anything i would need to know about registration or serial numbers?

[Guest kickstand]

If you buy a finished receiver, it is considered a firearm, and already has a serial # from the manufacturer. You go about buying one the same as a complete firearm.

[Guest Grot]

Also must Reciever and or parts kit be shipped to an FFL?

EDIT:after seeing the last post, im assuming Reciever must be shipped to an FFL

[Guest kickstand]

Yep, receivers have to go through FFL's, while parts can be shipped to your door/bought off the shelf just like any other hunk of metal or plastic. What are you planning on building?

[Murgatroy]

The receiver for an AR is considered the firearm. Even stripped.

You have to have it transferred through an FFL and do your background

After you get your stripped lower, you need a parts kit, which rarely includes your buffer assembly or stock.

Once you have all of that, you still only have a complete lower, still requiring a complete upper assembly.

Im planning on making a PSL/FPK

using these:

Dragunov Receiver with No Trunnions Part #DRA REC ROM

Romanian PSL/FPK - COMPLETE KIT - 7.62x54R #DRAZKIT

Original Romanian PSO-1 4x24 Scope #DRASCO

[Guest kickstand]

If that really is a complete kit (I wonder about the trigger, etc.), then that is a good deal.

[Guest Grot]

It says it includes trigger guard and Trunnions

It doesnt say anything about a trigger.

And i assume the reciever does not include the Trigger either.

I wonder if i can get a trigger anywhere?

[Murgatroy]

I think the Tapco unit fits a PSL, but I won't swear to it.

[Guest bkelm18]

Aren't PSLs basically an AK47 platform? I'm pretty positive you can pickup a standard AK trigger (Tapco, etc) and put it in. Looks like you may need the whole lower parts kit judging from the picture of the kit.

[Guest Grot]

I found a trigger group for an AK, id assume that would fit.

I sent them an email to see what all it contains.

[Guest Grot]

i will look and see if i can find a more complete parts kit.

[Guest oldsmobile98]

I highly recommend checking out Weapons Guild or Weaponeer for build tips. Keep us up to date on your progress!

Also be aware of 922® compliance issues when building a kit gun.

[Guest Grot]
