I've started working on an MP-5 build and I'm concerned about the legality of one of the steps, please let me know what you think. Here's my plan:
I've ordered one of those receiver stampings but not the rest of the parts yet, my Form 1 has also been sent in. I'll order the rest of the parts (especially the short barrel) after I get my form 1 back.
I'm taking a tig welding class at one of the local community colleges and they let us work on our own projects. So I'd like to complete the receiver welds in the schools shop so I can use the equipment there. My concern is that once I finish the last weld aren't I technically in possession of a firearm on a school premises. I won't have a complete weapon but the receiver is the part that is legally considered a "firearm" right?
I guess another way to look at is when does a flat legally become a firearm? I'm assuming the NFA side of it is ok until I am in possession of the short barrel but let me know if that's wrong.
Thanks for your feedback
