There has been a recent change in what ATF is allowing to be completed on an 80% receiver. In the past certain manufacturers received letters stating that it was OK to drill the selector hole. That is no longer the case. We received an updated opinion on what is allowed at the beginning of April. You can download a copy of the letter we received here,

Haven't you guys heard of "build parties"? If this was illegal we wouldn't be advertising them here. Yea, most of the larger BPs are for AKs but, I've heard of many other types of firearms being home built. ARs (rifles and pistols), AKs(rifles and pistols), MACs, VZ58s, 1919s, M2s, Stens, Sterlings, MG42s, etc.

serial

Assuming u are the one fabricating the receiver, or completing it... In my opinion, u would engrave or stamp a makers mark, and a serial #. That way u can easily register it. If u dont.... Even if u dont sell, L.E. wont like an un marked weapon.

I stand corrected. Didn't know you could get them marked. Who would have to do the marking?

[Noobert]

Anyone could do the marking. You could do it yourself pretty easily with a set of punches if you're careful.

If anyone does try to do with punches, make sure the letter is centered on the punch. While back someone did one perfectly lined up but the HF punches caused the serial to come out misaligned

No Punches

Thats crazy funny.

you can if you want, not required.

doesn't matter if they LIKE it, an unmarked firearm that has never been marked is not illegal to possess. That is different than removing the serial number from a firearm that was already marked.

Thanks

Thanks for the clarification... again it was just my opinion.

not to get too off topic, but these can be made into pistols as well, correct? at which point you could drop mags and use prebans as long as there isnt a stock attached?

If it's an 80% 1911 frame, or M11/9 frame or something, sure.

But not an 80% AR receiver.

If you build an 80% AR receiver into an AR pistol, it utilizes the magazine outside of the pistol grip, which is an AW feature for pistols. The upper will most likely have a threaded barrel as well, also an AW feature.

You would be stuck to using a bullet button and 10rd mags.

Or, you could disable the gas system, and build in essence a bolt-action repeater. A bullet button would not be required at that point, and you COULD use hicaps, but you would no longer have a semi-auto pistol.
