The problem is that sovereign citizens, or freemen (oh how I regret my random username choice)
I admit that my eyebrows raised when I first met you on these forums, because that group was the first I associated with your name. Thankfully, you quickly proved yourself not to be a violent whack job ... or, the deception is complete! ;)

It is, and I posted the law for him. He says the parts don't have serial numbers on them in the first place. I don't know one way or the other.
I have found some very old firearms where serial numbers were stamped onto butts of stocks and the like, and as a result could theoretically - and innocently - be replaced. However, this is not the case with most firearms, and all of those I have seen carried or possessed by criminals and modern firearm enthusiasts. When we find the ones without them, they have either been obliterated off a newer weapon, or, they belong on some very old rifle that has been found in a garage, an attic, or among the belongings of a deceased elderly relative.

Are you a person or a citizen?
ah, now it comes out: a freeman
so much for an intelligent and true discussion of the issue.

Interesting ... in my state removing or obliterating serial numbers is a crime. I suspect it is so in VA as well, but I'm not going to bother reading through all their statutes. But, if you are lawfully replacing the part of the weapon that contains the serial number (odd if it is in such a place) then I suppose you could be correct. Just don't bring the firearm to many other states.
what he is describing means he is the manufacturer of the weapon. He purchases a partially machined gun "lower" and finishes it and assembles the gun using other separately purchased parts. The laws of concern would be those concerning manufacturing of guns. If a serial number is required, he would have to stamp it himself since he is the manufacturer.

In 21 years in law enforcement I have never had cause to come across or seize a firearm that has been homemade. But, that may be because I am in CA and we may well have more state laws that prohibit these weapons than your state. Understand that the FEDS may not have a problem with it, but state law may take issue with whatever weapon you might be carrying. I would hope that you have confirmed with state or local authorities that your weapon is lawful before you start carrying it or utilizing it where lawfully able.
