terminology

sgm hag
At the risk of ridicule, can someone define some terms I see on making a PPS semi? 1) A denial cut on top of reciever 2) 6,8,or10 parts US made for compliance. Not a clue what these terms mean but sure want to not get my tail in the Alphabet Boy's sights. I thought changing out the trigger mech and making a free float firing pin in the bolt would legalize the piece. Am I real far off?

    The original receiver has to be destroyed. A new U.S. fabricated receiver and associated parts has to be used that functions as a closed bolt mechanism. Cosmetically it can appear to be a PPS but none of the original receiver or innards can be used. Also the barrel has to be at least 16" long, unless it's papered as a sbr.

    Thanks for the reply. Saw an ad for a flat reciever that, when pressed into shape, a cut on the top creates a "denial" (I believe that's what he called it). Don't know its purpose,but other than that, I don't see any differance from the original. Whether or not the bolt is open or closed is determined by the trigger assembly. Really not trying to argue what I don't know. Just don't see why reinventing the wheel is necessary.I kinda' have a problem being told I have to do something that I don't understand and doesn't make sense. I've got three x-wives that will attest to that. The difference is one says if you don't comply you'll go to prison. The other says comply and you're in prison (of sorts).

    Chances are the flat receiver is for a phoney decorator type gun to hang on the wall. You can't use the original trigger assembly because the gun was originally a selective fire firearm. Chances are that the selective fire mechanism is a integral part of the trigger assembly.
