What do you mean by "put it together"?

get a book it's easy

[plank white]

hmm you may need to check on the leagiltys of having one built who isnt a licenesd manufacturer

I may be mistake but i believe You can build your own guns allday every day but you cant sell them or give them away you have to keep them

I do know you can have someone help by basically watching you do it but I believe you are supposed to do the actual work yourself.

Im shure if Im wrong someone here will correct me

That's quite a stretch based on the information provided.

You can sell home built guns but you must not build them with the intent of selling them.

ahh ok I never knew that I guess you learn something new everyday

[oldmustangjunkie]

I have all the parts (down to the rivets) to assemble the AK. I don't have the time or access to the tools needed to do it correctly.

I ended up selling all my parts and buying one already built. It was about the same price as I got out of my kit.

Rifle Dynamics. Fuller and his guys are top notch.

Oh brother. I don't doubt you Dolomite, but who are the crazy people who put together laws where they've got to get inside your head? How the heck will they know for sure what your "intent" is? Maybe I want to build ten all alike and then I change my mind and sell them one by one. Jeesh!

Those who build guns to sell rarely sell just one. This is where you will get into trouble, building several then selling them. It isn't that hard to prove if the seller has sold more than one home built of the same type.

All it takes is an over zealous agent to arrest and bring the weight of the Federal government down. And even if they can't prove their case to a jury the costs to the innocent would be a lot for anyone to bear. Innocent people get arrested all the time and even if they are found not guilty the damage is still done.

Personally I would never sell a home built weapon even if it were legal. Just like serial numbers are not required on home built guns. But try telling that to an officer that is ignorant of the law regarding that. They would arrest you then after posting bail and hiring an attorney you would be out a substantial amount of money through no fault of you own.

Too much of a risk to me.
