"Intent" to sell an unserialized weapon

[Hogwylde]

I'm 59 years old. Say I build an unserialized AR15. I have NO intention to sell this weapon. However, in 20 years my health is poor and I have to go into assisted living. I decide to sell all my firearms because I can no longer keep/use.them safely. Is it NOW a crime to SELL my unserialized AR15????

Things could change drastically in 20 years. Will it be legal to own a firearm by then?

Short answer is, no.

For records sake ........I suppose ( for a minimal fee ) one could sell a "Treasure Map" of your last known canoe trip .

Interesting. This sort of strikes me that who would know who made the homemade gun in the first place? If there are no identifying marks, everyone keeps their mouths shut and noses clean, who’d ever be the wiser that you gave your old homemade AR to your grandson or sold it to your neighbor?

I can see why it was the last canoe trip.

How would anyone know who "made" it? The person you "sell" it to could be the one who "made" it with the wave of a magic make believe wand...

Easy. Do the Prohibition thing. Sell them a ham sandwich for $500 and after they do, GIFT them the gun.

The one thing I did not see in that was the metal requirement in a lot of guns. Does the serial have to be on a metal part of the gun or would anywhere be fine?

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, I seem to recall that you ca build your own firearm, but until and unless it is serialized, it cannot be sold or gifted. I'm not sure about willed.

I am not a lawyer.
I do not play one on TV
I did not sleep at a holiday inn express last night.

Blessings,
Bill

Makes me wonder if sometimes we are being baited by the atf into saying something dumb.
Probably nothing, but it makes you wonder…

Well, they ARE master baiters.

Or is it that they’re good at jerking us around?


Something like that.
