Demilled reweld, laws that show its legal.

Demilled reweld, laws that show its legal. I'm working on a PS43 reweld and I have a block head at work that can't get it through his thick scull that it is legal for me to rebuild this receiver as a private party.

Anyone have links to the laws showing this legal, maybe an ATF letter?

Matt at Guns NW Home does rewelds and I know he was selling reweld kits for the DIY guys.

A quick search found this.. <broken link removed> but the link to the ATF is bad.

and then this...JustTheLaw: A 2004 ATF letter re: rewelds of machine gun receivers

This link has an ATF letter from 2004 that talks about this. It doesn't directly say "a nonlicensee can reweld a receiver" but it addresses rewelding receivers and nonlicensees building a receiver.

I just got my m64 ak reweld back from Matt @ My Guns NW. Talent Or. He does excellent work by the way.. but be prepared for a long wait.

It will have to comply with 922r and of course be semi auto, enough to comply with batf standards. Basically made in such a manner that it cannot be easily returned to full auto. Most guys mark their recievers with name, date, and "homebuilt"

I'm building a couple Sterling "SMG's" from cut up receivers, and its perfectly legit. They will be permanently converted to closed-bolt semi-auto fire only, of course.

BTW... WTH are you telling any of the meatheads at your job what you're doing? I never discuss anything concerning my private life (other than, wife, number of kids and pets) for this very reason.

I talk about guns with a couple other people at work. Not sure if it's the brightest thing to do. They mentioned my name in defending the number of guns they own to some other coworkers.
