"Federally it is legal to do so but I know in NJ it is 100% illegal, and I'm willing to wager we're not the only draconian state with such laws"
That's a fact.
30 years ago I was arrested in NJ and charged by ther NJSP with manufacturing a firearm without a license for *assembling* parts into an AR-15 reciever that I purchased *as a firearm* at my local FFL dealer.
NJ State Law defines "manufacture" differently than the BATFE. They define it based on "operability" not based on the serialized part having been already sold to an individual.
In end I "beat the rap" but it was only barely....
