I know that typically, the only part of a rifle that is considered to be a firearm its self is the reciever/frame, and i know that i can not just go out and build an automatic out of any ak-47 i can grab of the shelf, what i dont know is if i can buy an original parts kit(full auto capable), from befor 1982 or what ever the year new automatics where no longer availible for civilians and build an automatic ak from that.
i didnt know if maybe i could buy an old parts kit, and build a new "replacement" reciever, if i went through the process of the paper work and all that required to build anygun that requires a 200 dollar tax
and if i could not, what is required to buy a parts kit and build a new reciever for it, assuming i made it semi auto only, and keep it as a full size rifle, with 18 inch or longer barrel, and at least 26 inches over all
basically, if i can not build a new reciever for a full auto parts kit, would i have to pay a tax, to build a semi automatic only rifle by buying a parts kit, and stamping a reciever
