I have not had the chance to adsorb all the information here but it's the first time I have found a place that directly discusses tax payments on home builds if you sell one...

3. If my customer is considered the manufacturer, when is he or she liable for FAET?

The customer is liable for FAET if:

• He or she sells the firearm before using it; or

• He or she uses the firearm in the operation of his or her business.

The customer is not liable for FAET if:

• He or she uses the firearm for personal use after delivery from the gunsmith.

4. If I manufacture an article only for my personal use, am I still liable for FAET?

If you manufacture a firearm for your personal use, you are not liable for FAET. (Note: this exemption does not apply to partnerships and corporations)
