Is this banned by name? Hypothetically....

[Arthur84]

Hypothetically, if one were to get pieces of a demilled, banned by name uzi receiver and then rewelded it together with various pieces to make a complete receiver, would it then be a homemade gun that doesn't require serial numbers? Would it be a dangerous grey area? Or, with proper documentation of the reweld process, would the newly created receiver be good to go?
Thanks for any input....

Ummm, I think you should go for it. Honestly its probably a VERY dangerous grey area. Homemade means you make everything yourself...this would be taking pieces of a receiver and putting them back together.

FALSE!

Rewelds and other demilled firearms have been made into serviceable firearms by Americans for many years.

1919A4's are demilled and home building one has NOTHING to do with making everything yourself.

Well, hypothetically, would it become a banned by name gun after a reweld? I guess that's what A person would try to avoid. Example,
A guy has a rewelded uzi, and it was made from various demilled sections. The end that has the "imi" uzi markings makes it onto the gun. Does he then have a banned by name uzi? Or is it considered a completely new firearm, regardless of its markings?
Does the reweld process create a new, unarmed firearm?

i guess if you use a torch or tig to carefully pool over the stampings you get to name it what you want if the name is there that is what the people acting on good faith and understanding of the laws will go by

[StupidMoFo]

there are pictures on the web of all kinds of rewelded polish aks and stuff

Someone just sold a partially re-welded UZI in the for sale section not too long ago.

Do a search in the for sale section and look for it. I have to run.

The AK reweld receivers are missing the center section that has the full auto holes drilled in it. Once a machine gun, always a machine gun. But if you replace the section of receiver that has any happy holes with a piece that doesnt have happy holes then you are good to go as a reweld. You cant fill in the full ato holes with a weld. AK receivers are usually a milled receiver so they dont say "AK-47" on them which is the name that is banned. We would have to see the cut up sections to see what holes are in it and what is written on it before making a logical guess.

So I guess I'm going with the idea that its an entirely new firearm. The F/A function on an uzi receiver will be disabled by first welding in the blocking bar,then the uzi receiver can be welded. One could then stamp their own serial number and info on it to identify it as a homemade firearm, with residual IMI markings that are on the rear of the receiver being meaningless.
So, technically, it's not a banned by name gun, it would be a homemade one. Am I thinking right?
