Greetings neighbor!
A home built gun can be built from a flat or other non-gun-receiver with the understanding that you are building this gun for you rown personal use and you are not building for someone else or for profit.
There is no registration of one of these builds but obviously it is illegal to build anything other then a semiautomatic with the required number of US made parts. Now, you can register a home built gun with the BATFE as a SBR or AOW and these would require $200 tax payments and the appropriate paperwork before you begin building.
Personally, I have a three kits I was planning to SBR if I ever has the spare money but given the time and cost to do the NFA work I am going to purchase a quality 1.0 Global Trades receiver with a custom serial number that would match the numbers on my kits before I send in the tax payments.
Building from a flat is quite a bit of work and it requires a lot of jigs and tools to do rivets and screw build work but they just are not as nice. Some of the self tapping rivet methods look pretty good as well but I hav enot had the time to try one of those. A member here on the site sent me rivets over a year ago but darned life got real busy.
Hope this helps some...
