Thank you for the correction.
Does anyone know where I can find an ATF letter stating that a receiver made by welding together a de-milled receiver is a US made part?
Never seen such a letter. When HKG3 kits were widely available, what would have stopped someone from welding those back together and calling it US made.
922r still applies still need to min US made parts. I have more then enough parts on my HK91 clone. Famed HK clone builder BIG50 at Arizona Response Systems (long time ago) assembled my gun.
Section 27 C.F.R. § 478.39 effectively stipulates that the firearm is only considered imported, or only considered the same as the otherwise-banned foreign version, if it has “more than 10” of the following 20 imported parts on it [from 478.39(c)].
(1) Frames, receivers, receiver castings, forgings, or castings.
(2) Barrels.
(3) Barrel extensions.
(4) Mounting blocks (trunnions).
(5) Muzzle attachments.
(6) Bolts.
(7) Bolt carriers.
(8) Operating rods.
(9) Gas pistons.
(10) Trigger housings.
(11) Triggers.
(12) Hammers.
(13) Sears.
(14) Disconnectors.
(15) Buttstocks.
(16) Pistol grips.
(17) Forearms, handguards.
(18) Magazine bodies.
(19) Followers.
(20) Floor plates.
