Sendra arms full auto

[kell490]

Question,
I read somewhere that Sendra didn't register any of there receivers before 5/86, and only Bushmaster did and others who converted them. Mine is marked sendra arms on my paper work and no other manufacture is stamped on the receiver. Did they actually manufacture and register full auto's, or just semi-auto's?

Yes, they did. I've seen Sendra M-16s for sale.

I believe that Sendra only made semiautomatic lower receivers, some of which were converted to full automatic by other manufacturers. I have a Sendra that was converted by RIA, and the overall quality rivals that of a Colt M-16. It has both Sendra and RIA markings, and RIA is listed as the manufacturer on the paperwork.

RIA is known to have sometimes stamped their marking very lightly, so that it's hard to read (or even see).

If your paperwork lists Sendra as the manufacturer, and that's the only marking visible on the receiver, I would just go with that and not worry about it.

Mine is only marked Sendra Corp

If you did find a manufacturer other than Sendra marked on the receiver somewhere, it can be corrected in the registry according to this ATF publication:

It's marked the same on the Receiver I think Sendra did manufacture full auto's early in the 80's later on as they got close to 1986 they had some sort of dispute with the ATF which lead to the loss of there FFL.
