I have a gun design I want to make and sell, but do not have the funds to get all the permits/licenses needed to do it all the way. I know it is legal to manufacture and sell unfinished receivers of a firearm without a manufacture FFL license, do anyone know where can i find laws specific to that so I can read them and determine whether I want to do is legal or not.

I have a semiautomatic handgun design in mind, I know its legal to manufacture firearms for personal uses, that is not to sell it or transfer possession of it to anyone else. but if I was to sell it, would it be legal to sell a gun with an incomplete receiver where the end-user (customer) has to finish it himself to make the firearm functional? and how incomplete does a receiver have to be for it not to be considered a firearm? such an AK receiver blank, as a sheet of steel its not a firearm. it requires someone to press it and rivet it before it becomes a "receiver".

-thanks
my idea is for a one piece, cast pot metal receiver. everything else of the gun is using common parts from other firearms. for example, it uses an SKS bolt cover, AK trigger group, Hi Point 9mm magazine spring (fixed 10 rd magazine), etc. even the barrel was designed to be easy to find.
I just need to know exactly how unfinished a receiver needs to be so its not considered a "gun".
I plan on design something with a 3d printer, make a plaster mold (2) of that printed part, and use each half of the mold combined together to create one cast metal receiver, complete with all the holes and shapes, all the end user has to do is file, sand, and maybe re-drill some of the holes. requires no special tools at all, nothing you can’t get for 20 bucks at walmart. and I figure I’d ship the cast receiver, complete with plaster mold in one of those USPS flat rate boxes. the plaster serves as packaging material too.

so when you open this box all you see a block of white plaster and a card with inst

I applied for the Georgia Firearms License on March 18. I have 60 days to recieve a response. If I remember correctly, the 60 days is somewhat of a right to a speedy service. After 60 days, then what? They tell me to shut up and they’ll get to it when they do? In jail you have the right to a speedy trial. I’m sure it’s not an overnight process(although the world would probably spin a bit faster), but you aren’t in jail for 3 years for spitting on a sidewalk waiting for a court date. (whatever)

Ok so I’m thinking about getting a C&R license (Curious & Relics) for old firearms. I did some thinking, would I be able to get say, a vietnam era M16 (fullauto) with a C&R or would I still be required to get it through an FFL? I don’t think the A1s are 50+ y/o yet but when they are which route could/would I have to take?
Also id like to appologize, my question had nothing to do with WWII weapons like the main line suggested. Thought it would be nice to own one.

I’m moving there soon, my g/f got a really good job there. We currently live in PA, and I do own firearms. Just curious what exactly is there laws, what you can and can not have? I know awhile ago guns were completely banned of any kind, is that still in effect? If gun laws there are really strict, do you suggest then, just too look for a place across the river in Arlington, VA?

Need some Primary research for my Anthropology class :)

Survey – Gun Control(Yes Or No)

1.Will laws dictating the mandatory use of trigger locks significantly reduce accidental deaths?
2.Laws prevailing the possession and carrying (keeping & bearing) of firearms are effective at preventing criminal acts.
3.Laws regulating the manner in which firearms are kept in your home (locked, disassembled, etc.) will effectively prevent accidental gun deaths.
4.Do you fear the possession of guns by the civilian?
5.Is gun ownership a symbol of independence, self-reliance, freedom, and responsibility?
6.Do law abiding citizens who carry concealed weapons endanger the public?
7.If all guns were to magically disappear tomorrow, there would be no more criminal violence?
8.The majority of criminal violence is the availability of guns.
9.Instead of offering protection, a gun in the home puts families at an even greater risk.
10.Should civilian ownership of guns be forbidden?
11.Does advance training with firearms reduce accidental deaths?
12.Should high-powered rifles be available to anyone with a firearms license?
13.Can having quick access to a firearm increase deaths by guns?

Thanks for your time!
