Destroying a receiver ?
Over the years, I've accumulated some guns and parts that aren't any good even for wall hangers. Let's say I want to weld up a sculpture with the parts, or sell off the parts, sans receiver. Can I torch the receiver and take it off my C&R bound book? Some are personal arms, or modern arms not in the bound book. Same scenario.....? Keep in mind, these are trash. We're not talking about importing NFA parts kits here.

Sounds reasonable; that's what I would do. I'd just write "destroyed" & the date in my bound book.
At one time I'd have said ship them to Gun Parts Corp for whatever they pay you, but now you'd have to ship them UPS/FEDEX Next Day Air; that would cost more than you would get paid.
At least you have a torch; I tried cutting a hard receiver with a hacksaw, & it was REALLY difficult.

The only problem you would ever run into is if a frame you mark down as destroyed is somehow made to work and used in a situation that would require it be traced.
Welding it into "art" would probably preclude that. Likewise, throwing it into the ocean would also work.

I'D TAKE A PIX OR TWO TO ADD TO YOUR BOUND BOOK 0 -
When I destroyed a reciever, I took a photos of before and after the torching that showed the cuts and the weapons serial number. They were kept in a file and the backs of the photos recorded dates, model information, book entry numbers, etc. 0 -
All sounds like good advice. Ya just can't cover your arse too much ....Thanks

If you crush or cut the receivers indicate in the book how they were destroyed. I then throw them in a crar that is crushed for salvage so that they never resurface. 0
