Building my own AR, the long way
- Thread starter 375 RUM
- Start date
The IGES file probably came from CNC guns. That's where most billet makers seem to have found their model (including myself
)He still would have had to write the program.
When I made my AR10 and AR15 lowers, I used the cnc guns cad file for the main sizing, modified some things to remove having to 3d mill as much as possible, and wrote my own program to suit.
Choose your own serial number, call the horse police, mine were verified over the phone as well as a i had to send in 3 pictures. Bingo bango registration slip comes in the mail.

My brother was a machinist, like my father and older brother, but i'm the accountant of the family. He would have made these about 10 years ago, with just the usual shop machines, no CNC.....I wasn't allowed near the machinery as a kid, so I can't offer anymore technical details.
I think tripoli99's brother machined his out of a forging. Nice work 375 rum!
I'm unaware of any firearms that are registered without a serial number.... In fact, my understanding is that if there is a collectors piece whose value would be degraded by stamping a serial number on it, that the cfc provides a sticker with a specific serial number on it... And that sticker has to accompany the firearm
block of 60616061 or 7075?
Found this:
Firearm Registration Regulations
Describing Firearms
1.1 For the purposes of paragraph 14(b) of the Act, the manner of describing a firearm is by referring to its make, class, type, action and calibre or gauge.
SOR/2004-276, s. 2.
Yes they originally gave out stickers, the firearm still doesn't have a serial number and I do recall quite a few people saying that they couldn't get replacements issued when they were ruined/unreadable.
I'll have to try and register an 80% lower without a serial number myself to find out for certain I suppose. I also found a thread on reddit where someone making a scratch built ar180 (armedsask?) and the RCMP said it didn't need to be marked but recommended it for identification purposes.

That's interesting.... I was told specifically that it needed a serial number and that the number had to be impressed on the receiver (couldn't paint one on)
I wonder if the cfc only accepts 14b for antiques or rare guns... And follows a different mandate for newly manufactured guns
