In the wake of Luigi Mangione’s alleged killing of a health care CEO with a partially 3D-printed pistol, we built the exact same weapon ourselves—and test-fired it.
I’m not a lawyer, but you’d need a #7(?) FFL, and serialized and register the gun before selling it, if I’m not mistaken. Keeping it for yourself is the only legal way to do it without a paper trail. Also, some states have banned even that.
Rob Ski of the “AK Operator’s Union” YouTube channel used to sell on his webstore a rifle optics package he dubbed the “Goatfucker Annihilator”. I don’t recall him ever getting in trouble for it but he hasn’t sold anything like that for years. Presumably someone with the bare minimum amount of good taste advised him against it.
It was a Primary Arms prism optic paired with an RS Regulate mount IIRC.
If you go on PSA’s website and look for stripped AR lowers, you’ll probably find a bunch of crass shit like a " FJB-15." Point is, I think you could get away with it if you figuratively and literally stuck to your guns and didn’t make specific threats.
Assuming you had the proper licenses, it would be legal, but I suspect you’d find you’d get shut down through pressure from other directions. Almost nobody would be willing to facilitate that manufacture and sale.
That brings up an interesting point. If I manufacture and sell a gun as “the CEO annihilator”, would it be legal? If not, why?
Probably legal, but not practical. Suppliers would probably start refusing to work with you. Payment systems too.

I assume you would get suecided (Boeing style) before you would start production.
