[QUOTE="Nighthawk, post: 2432279, member: 3906"] Resale of, and getting what you paid for the parts out of a 'Frankenstein weapon' package may be a real challenge, unless you find the right person that appreciates and trusts the work you have done. On the other hand, as a comparison, If you purchased a stock 55' Chevy 2 door post, removed the engine replaced it with a larger newer one, with a blower or turbo charger, or with Nitrous, cut the trunk out and replaced the metal with sheet metal that you formed to accept large tires, replaced the old braking system, replaced it with a newer version, removed all the tires and wheels replaced them with cool rims and big tires, cut down the rear end so that those new tires will fit under the body. You are not a mechanic, just some guy that read and watched how to do things on the internet. When does it stop being a 55' Chevy 2 door post? Is it now a Frankenstein car? A person can customize a rifle to his or her use, from the bottom up starting with a stripped receiver. It can be a lot of fun, when done legally. If a person is a consumer, no special license is needed. If that person is a FFL they are required to pay extra to have an 07 added to the license, engrave the business name city and state on all weapons they build, keep track of each weapon they assemble (build) in their manufacturers book, which has been transferred from their Accusition and disposition book. That weapon made (assembled) by the FFL is not a Frankenstein weapon instead it is manufactured by the new name (FFL) engraved on the receiver. The FFL has to also pay a tax after he/she manufactures so many. If an FFL does not follow the ATF rules, he or she will receive an unwanted unscheduled visit by ATF. There are FFL’s that do not follow the rules, and sooner or later they lose their license. [/QUOTE]
