    I'm wanting to build an era accurate prototype rifle. Maybe a Colt 645s, because it was a semi auto. I was wondering the legalities of stamping the proof marks and "property of US government". This is being built on an 80% lower.

    I know that foreign stamps are technically legal but I think that US governmental proofs might not be. I know it was discussed on some forum I am on but I can't find the thread now. If I do I'll post it.

    I asked the same question on AR15.com Looking through the laws I see nothing regarding individuals. Just regulations for licensed manufacture people.

    I didn't know a 16 year old could buy a MG....hmmm

    For the purposes of the National Firearms Act the term Machinegun means:

    • Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger
    • The frame or receiver of any such weapon
    • Any part designed and intended solely and exclusively or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, or
    • Any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.
    Sounds nothing like what i'm building.
