[lt_jango]

i just ordered a mp5 parts kit and the flat to build my own mp5 what do i haft to excatuly do as far as regestering it goes? trying to find out if i bit off more than i can chew on this one ?

As a SBR or just as a gun? If you are just making a pistol or rifle nothing. But I would put a number or something on it. Some people use a address or birth date. Not required by law but a good idea. ETA it needs to be semiauto

the kit comes with a 9 inch barral and a 8 inch fake can that ties on to it how would that work and whats the diffrence between a sbr or gun? its gona be a simi auto

If you are building a pistol just use the 9 inch barrel. If it is a rifle you will need to weld the fake can on or blind pin it. That's drilling and putting a pin in it and then weld over the pin. An SBR would be a NFA item "class 3" that would be a 9 inch barrel and a stock. You would have to do a form 1 before the build and pay a 200.00 tax stamp. you will need a CLEO sign off or a Corp. Or tust. You can google ATF form 1 for more info or look in the class 3 forum here if you want to build it that way.

And you don't have to put a serial # on the flat but it is a good idea. Just in case it is stolen or you get a traffic stop by a cop that thinks you filed the number off

so pretty much put the fake can on in a perminate way it dosent need to be stamped just put a number on it with out the fake can more mony to be forked out lol

 

[lt_jango]

well then i will just lock tight the barral on to the threaded end and when ever i want to have it as a sbr regestered just heat and melt the lock tight and take the fake can off will that work?

 

[lt_jango]

Ummmmmm...no. It needs to be welded or pinned like madmax said.

whats the diffrence between me licktighting it on the threads and putting a pin through it if i plan to remove it later on down the line?

[lt_jango]

Obviously you aren't understanding anything. According to the BATFE, you must weld or blind pin the barrel extension on. There's nothing else to think about. For ****'s sake it's pretty straightforward. If you don't like it contact the BATFE, maybe you'll change their mind.

1100 deg silver solder.
4 equidistant tack welds
a continous weld of half the circumferance.
blind pin with the end of the pin welded over.
