However, so long as the basic design is otherwise compliant with federal guidelines, the typical home hobbyist can build a rifle, shotgun or pistol at home and there remains no federal requirement for registration. You still cannot build a machine gun or violate the arcane regulations regarding barrel length, nor could you legally contrive a grenade launcher or similar destructive device. However, if you live in a free state, as I do, there is little more satisfying than building, shooting and carrying a tack-driving 1911 that you conjured up yourself at home. It is the responsibility of the user to research local restrictions before embarking on such a project. ![]() While there are no federal restrictions on building one of these guns up at home for personal use, local laws are another story. However, what is not so well known is that if you build a gun yourself, solely for personal use and have no intent to transfer it, the legal landscape changes fundamentally. The BATFE has as its very mandate the supervision of guns, and the regulations regarding the manufacture and transfer of firearms are labyrinthine to say the least.
