Serbu Firearms has posted on their website plans for building an inexpensive functional handgun for the specific purpose of trading it in at gun buy backs.
It is a single shot, .22LR that can be made at home.

I am more interested in if you would contemplate making one of these for trading in, and reasons for and against. I think the discussion of safety, validity of gun buy backs, accuracy, whether or not it needs a optic or night sights, etc. is best suited for an entirely new thread.
From an article about the gun.

As previously explained, the “GB” in GB-22 stands for Gun Buyback – this is Serbu’s attempt to flood useless gun turn-in programs that some cities and towns have spun up in an attempt to reduce crime. As we have seen time and time again, the result is that mostly garbage firearms or rare collectors pieces are turned over, both of which are indiscriminately melted down.
The GB-22 comes in two versions. The first fires with a simple action that launches the slide (and firing pin) toward the chamber. As clunky as the process sounds, the trigger pull is actually fairly smooth.
The second version of the GB operates on a more traditional operation: close the slide on a round in the chamber and a squeeze of the trigger, sending a hammer towards the firing pin
