I was just wondering if anyone understands what the laws pertaining to making a prototype firearm are, both at the Federal level, and in Oregon? Is there a pathway to do this legally? I have some interesting ideas for building a competition revolver, but I don't want to turn myself into a felon... have been reading, or attempting to read, what I can find on the net, and it is a confusing morass of legalese and double-speak. As best as I can tell from the material on 80% lowers, it seems like if you complete one into a firearm, that's a felony at the Federal level?
Obviously, if I find a way to proceed with my ideas, I will need to talk with an attorney, but I'd appreciate you guys' input, to see if I will even go that far. Might be that I need to just find an existing gun that's close, and then modify it.
