Build an AR within the law.

once all the holes are drilled and ready for finishing you will need to register it, of course if you made it you can pick any serial number you want.

do you create a serial ?
at what point in the build do you have to register it?

You register when the lower is complete (the legal firearm). You can probably call and ask them to give you a serial # if you don't want to make one up.

Personally, I'd have the serial # as 1337M4CH1N3. :p
 
You have 30 days after the receiver is capable of firing a round to register it. You must submit pictures of left and right sides including the serial number. You also have to submit a picture of the internals looking from the top down so they can see you haven't made room to put the fun switch. The serial number must be a certain depth (I believe .010 thou). If it is a direct copy of a commercially availlable ar15 (say LMT) it should be approved in about a week or 2. They will then issue an frt and the verifiers no. and you register it on line. If it's something you have designed yourself or some unusual design it could take up to a year to be approved and you may have to send the actual receiver in to the lab for inspection. When I made my AR10 receiver it took 3 months to approve because no one in Canada had made one before. My AR 15 receiver took 1 week.

Never heard anything like this, LOTS of lower receivers have space for an autosear, they just don't have the hole drilled for it. Unless you have that special 9mm colt receiver that has both and is still restricted.
 
That's why they want left, right and top. Anything looks out of place, you get to send it in for inspection. Just repeating what I was told when I made mine.
 
There were a number of things done in the manufacturing process to prevent an AR from being made into a Full Auto.

Most of these involved changing the internal geometry of the lower receiver's walls.

Here's a photo of one example:

On the left is an AR-15, on the right is an M-16. Note the location of the autosear/disconnector, and note how the receiver wall is not recessed to allow the autosear to be inserted.

Colt went so far as to insert a metal block in this area:

The CFC/RCMP wants to confirm that you have followed a profile for the Fire Control Group pocket that precludes insertion of the Autosear.

Did you build your AR10 lower on the 'original' AR10 design (pre-AR15?) such as the Sudanese contract rifles? Would it be possible to build a non-restricted rifle in this fashion as a new semi-auto?

Definition of a Prohibited Firearm
The Criminal Code states that a prohibited firearm is:

a handgun with a barrel length of 105 mm or less;
a handgun designed or adapted to discharge 25 or 32 calibre ammunition;
a rifle or shotgun that has been altered to make it less than 660 mm (26 inches) in overall length;
a rifle or shotgun that has been altered to make the barrel length less than 457 mm (18 inches) where the overall firearm length is 660 mm (26 inches) or more;
an automatic firearm and a converted automatic firearm;
any firearm prescribed as prohibited.

Basically it is saying cutting any barrel below 18 inches is a illegal even if the overall length of the firearm is 26 inches or more.
 
just thinkin outside the box for a moment here; if you have the ability to make receivers/ whole firearms from scratch why not put something together non-restricted. there's lots of awsome black rifle designs that you can carry outside the range...
not to hack on building an AR for ones self, still pretty cool.

Just don't make any HK clones. Remember their motto.

I don't have cad drawings for any other rifle.
