Getting my hands on a "Ghost gun"

Nope, You just can't sell it, or give it to your next of kin in theory... but again, that is if you tell the government you own it as well... otherwise, no one needs to know.

So there is a registration regime you'd be flouting? Here's what I'd do, see a lawyer that specializes in FFLs and carry issues. Say you have a criminal record or will have a criminal record (unpaid parking tickets or whatever) and you believe any registration would incriminate you. They can write up an affidavit to that. That way if you're ever pinched for violating the registration, you might have a way to wiggle out of it.

It is illegal to sell in Mass, there is no law, Mass or Federal that states making said gun is illegal. So I'm not breaking any laws.

But you said you can't pass it on. Now how will they know? There must be a registration regime in place. After it is milled and you have the bolt carrier in place. You might as well have bought it on the black market for all they care.

Nope, that is the point, they think that the only ones that can mill it are the ones who want to sell it. If it wanted to sell it I would have to register the lower receiver with the FFC, but I don't. There is nothing in the laws saying I can't do this either. Theoretically, it should be illegal for me to make a 50. cal as well because it does more damage, but it's not.

I can buy every part of the AR-15 legally without an FFC license, and the same goes with a lower 80. Now if I wanted to sell the gun, I couldn't... unless I register the completed lower 80 and gave it a SN#...

Also, this theoretically can't be given to my son when I die, but there are ways around that too.

I saw this piece and remembered The Conservative's Ghost Gun. Did he get it? ANy report on the experience?
