Does anyone know the legalities of selling a home built gun?

Liabilities aside, if I assemble a gun from a parts kit, using a 100% receiver purchased through an FFL, would it be legal for me to sell it?

The gun wasn't originally assembled for sale in mind, simply a project that was completed and I now want to move on.
 
I believe that if you bought the receiver (100%) through an FFL, all you did was hang some parts on it. You didn't "manufacture" a gun. You just assembled one and there should be no problem in selling it.
However, if you actually made the receiver from scratch, then it's a whole different color of cat. I think you then need a manufacturers license and pay excise tax, etc.

It depends on what state you are in.

According to federal law, the 100 percent receiver you bought is a firearm. Whatever modifications you do to it - as long as it isn't a MG, AOW or other restricted category - don't matter.

So basically, as long as I've conformed to 922r, I am ok.

I have asked this questions of several people and I gotten as many answers, few have agreed other then here.

Thanks.
 
It will not be an ATF homebuilt firearm ( for thoes you must build the reciever ) as far as ATF is concerned it is a firearm ( ebr assault weapon ) that was made when the company records show the lower was completed . If you did not step on any legal toes in assembly ( federal or state ) it should sell just as any other gun , If you did happen to maby include some parts that wernt stictly kosher on either legal level ( ie if you live in a " blue " state and thought who will ever know ) i would suggest you " rebuild " it to local spec (without mentioning that fact online) before any sale lol .
 
What you've done is really no different than people who assemble guns, like the T/ C Contender.......just putting legal parts together to make a shootable firearm.....or
as in our case, we take Win 94 receivers, that are serialized, and assemble complete guns of various calibers, depending on customer requests.....
ALL totally legal to own or sell.........!!
 
You can sell it no problem (922r restrictions only). I am guessing it is an AKM of the romanian type?

You can actually sell up to 50 a year (and not pay the taxes) according to a recent ruling, even if you build the receiver from a flat (though you do have to put your data on it {I think}).

Take it with a grain of salt. I am sure you will get many other answers. The ATF website should point you in the right direction though.
