I think the rule is they can't be manufactured for sale without a license and as said by goosebrown, they have to be legal. BBBASS.....I suspect the requirement to apply a serial number was out of the mind of the FFL. I have several guns made after 1898 factory built without serial numbers, the FFL simply notes that there is no SN on the gun. One is a Winchester 22 single shot bought new by my grandfather in 1930 or so.Pretty hard to transfer w/o putting in a serial # on the paperwork. When I sent an AR15 with an 80% lower to my daughter's FFL in Arkansas, I had to serialize it in accordance with Federal rules. That required me to make up some numbers (used my initials, date of her birthday, and her initials). FWIW YMMV
My understanding of federal law is you can sell/transfer it but you aren't suppose to build it with the intention to sell it. I wasn't sure about the serial number routine though.I think the rule is they can't be manufactured for sale without a license and as said by goosebrown, they have to be legal.

I am glad it worked out for you and daughter. If I ever build a non-serialized firearm I will probably plan on keeping it and letting my heirs deal with it.Yah well... interstate transfer and shipping becomes a sensitive matter for some. I did not with to cause my daughter any problems. The whole thing almost blew up when that FFL called to ATF because his reaction to receiving the firearm was "WTF, it can't be legal to transfer an 80% lower!!!" . Fortunately, the ATF guy had enough sense to correct that fool. It could have gone another way if the ATF guy was a fool too. BTW, her FFL had the guts to criticize my build. I think I would have called him a few names but I wanted the transaction to go thru for my daughter.
Isnt that already out there and being voted on???Don't worry, the Democrats will fix that loophole in 2019!
Gun storage bill at bullseye of firearm safety proposals
Other gun law changes legislators may consider in the next session:
Ghost guns/3D printed guns — Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum wants to regulate "ghost guns" made from kits or through 3D printing. Such guns can be manufactured without a serial number and are untraceable.
You may be thinking of HR7115 the 3D printed gun bill which will be introduced in the US House in 2019. That will fail in the Senate. In Oregon Democrats control both houses so they can pass whatever uninformed crazy BS they want.
My biggest fear is a ban on:
Handguns in public buildings — Senate Majority Leader Ginny Burdick, D-Portland, proposes narrowing exemptions in the law that allows people to take concealed handguns into public buildings. "A number of public entities would like to have the option to keep anyone with a gun off the grounds," Burdick said. Those include schools, universities and the Port of Portland, she said.
