In its 80%, state it is not considered a firearm; therefore, no FFL or serial number would be required. However, upon completing the receiver, you have actively made a functioning firearm, and the law is very clear on firearms made after 1968. The Gun Control Act of 1968 was a way of tracing all firearms through serial numbers and acquisition and disposition logs maintained by FFL dealers. A tool used by law enforcement to track down weapons used in crimes.I had asked a few state police friends and they all agreed if they catch you with a completed firearms with no serial numbers, you do not pass go, you do not collect $200.00, you go straight to jail. You do get an added benefit of facing a judge and explaining why you are in possession of a weapon produced after 1968 without any required serial numbers. Not to mention producing a firearm without the required manufacture license.I agree with car's statement this would be an appealing avenue for someone who could not other wise legally own a firearm. On the other hand, someone could attempt to make a machine gun, however I would question the durability of the material in a sustained full auto operation. In full auto fire, the additional heat generated could be an issue on plastic with a third of the melting point of a traditional aluminum frame.I am not an attorney; I base my statement on my years of gunsmithing, collecting, and knowledge of firearms.This is just my .02 cents worth on the question.</blockquote>
