Put me in the "what's the point" category.
You really believe that putting a non-functional plastic shell around the gun makes the plastic shell the new receiver?
If so, it really doesn't matter as long as he's manufacturing the weapon for his own use and not for re-sell because it's not required to have a serial number.
If covering a serial number is an issue, there's literally millions of S&W revolvers with Hogue grips covering the serial number running around out there that the ATF needs to start cracking down on. Can you believe that S&W is shipping all these darn things ILLEGALLY from the factory with their serial numbers covered?

And if any of those ATF agents or anyone else is carrying a Glock with a light on it, we really need to let them know that they're illegally covering the serial number on their weapon (Glock serial number is on a metal tag embedded in the frame between the accessory rails).
didn't you hear the story told to John McClane in Die Hard by Steve Erkels neighbor?
Pretty close, but I think that paint and stickers isn't quite the same thing as a plastic shell covering everything but the original barrel and prominently displaying a well known toy logo....very good point, but do you consider pink handguns and Hello Kitty ARs to fall into the same category?
Several posters including the OP have mentioned removing the Nerf logo.Pretty close, but I think that paint and stickers isn't quite the same thing as a plastic shell covering everything but the original barrel and prominently displaying a well known toy logo.
I know but man Ive been waiting a long time to use a Steve Erckel reference!Yes, but I'm wondering if you did. The cop shot a kid who had a toy gun that looked real.
Toy gun that looks real =/= real gun that looks like a toy.
In the end you gota do what makes you happy in this life so have at it...wow.. got pretty quiet. sorry for the rant i have to explain "why" i do alot of my projects to my wife as well. anyway here are some pics
Hi Potato Head,I'll get flamed for this and I don't mean to be snarky, but what's the point? I'm not one of these guys whose always tinkering with how my guns look so maybe i just don't understand, but this looks like valuable time wasted to me. Maybe I didn't read all of the posts and Im missing it, but is this just a hobby type thing? Boredom? Toy fetish? Just curious.
It just sounds like a bad idea to me, didn't you hear the story told to John McClane in Die Hard by Steve Erkels neighbor?
This has been asked and answered several times several different ways. Please find an original comment or question for the OP. We're supposed to support our brethren. Please take the High Road and don't compare the OP to a child.Looks like something i would do........er would have done when i was 8 or 10 yrs old!
I honestly can't imagine why an adult would want to do something like that though?
