I've got to add to this a bit with a story. Firearms work can sometimes
come along disguised as something else. In the very early days of that
sheetmetal shop I spent 9 years at, we'd weld a new bottom in your steel
trash can if you wanted. Anything that paid was brought in without
question. One day, I saw the brake operator about to start bending some
parts that had a familiar look. I asked what he was making, and he told
me he was making two sets of "table legs".
I noticed the +/-.005 tolerance on several dimensions of the "table
legs", and came to the conclusion that he was actually about to bend up
8 Ingram MAC-10 lower recievers. The MAC-10 is a fully automatic .45
submachine gun. He didn't believe me at first but had to admit +/-.005
was totally rediculous for "table legs". He ended up calling the
customer and telling them to come get their "table legs" and taking them
somewhere else. We'll never know if this was a BATF sting, a local pot
grower, or some survivalist types.

Better safe than imprisoned.
