Lawful Purchase and assembly of part kits

pietro75 · March 23, 2004 04:42

I have been considering building an AMD-65 through purchasing a parts kit and a receiver serperately. I relize I must have a non-folding stock and at least a 16' barrel. Though, I am unclear after reading the law wether or not it is legal to assemble this type of firearm. The following seems to state that it is legal to obtain a kit but I can't find or understand if it is legal to assemble the kit using a seperately purchased receiver. It seems to me that once assembled into a functional firearm and possessed by me( a civillian) it would be illegal. Any help or advice is well received and appreciated. Thank you all

Sec. 925. - Exceptions: Relief from disabilities

The Secretary shall authorize a firearm or ammunition to be imported or brought into the United States or any possession thereof if the firearm or ammunition -

(3)

is of a type that does not fall within the definition of a firearm as defined in section 5845(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes, excluding surplus military firearms, except in any case where the Secretary has not authorized the importation of the firearm pursuant to this paragraph, it shall be unlawful to import any frame, receiver, or barrel of such firearm which would be prohibited if assembled;
