It is illegal. The ATF has very strict requirements about building receivers. If you home build a gun, you have to have an ATF builder’s FFL, and register the gun.

My local gunsmith and I were talking about building a 1911 variant for fun, and he looked into the regs.

I was under the impression you can build one for yourself, but you can’t sell it without the FFL. I have never looked into it, so I’m not surprised.

Using the Kansas law as a guideline and the gun does not leave your state where do the communists running the federal government get off having any say?
