--- Quote from: couch;3535809 ---I can legally make my own lowers as long as there is no intent to sell. And if I do want to sell I need to engrave a little info and go thru an FFL as a PPT.
This was an 80% TM Lower. Milled the FCG and drilled the selecter and trigger holes.

You don't technically need to engrave it. ATF just wants to be sure that it doesn't appear to be for a business. If you make one and sell it, no big deal, one a week, well that's tough to explain.

Not sure how much is fact, but it seems spot of from some of the reading I've done.

Freakshow10mm knows his stuff. that is all spot on. ITAR is the reason I didn't go with 07.

From all the research I've done and @ tea eff letters I've read, the lower must have specific engraving in order to sell.
The gray area is what defines as a manufacturer. That's what nobody can figure out. How many lowers being sold considers you a manufacturer, how often and so on.

I found the law. 27 CFR 478.92 They should be marked. I don't sell any guns I make or buy so no deal to me.
How many makes you a manufacturer is sort like officers discretion. Some say one a year, but your basically at the mercy of what ATF thinks that a DA could convince a jury.
