Thanks- if I had to make a "two-fer" from a Parker or Smith frame/receiver (I have a few with parts for those "rainy days"--I might pass on the bandsaw and try out my new shop "playtoy" a plasma arc cutter, used 120 psi line air pressure, and will slice through ferrous or non-ferrous metals like poop runs through a goose (thank you Gen. Patton- Sir)--
I once asked Buck Hamlin why he thought you had to ship a receiver through the FFL channels- strip all the parts from a 12 VH no. 2 frame receiver, how do you make it fire a round? Even with the parts intact you still need the barrels to contain the shells. I love his answer- he told me "Well, I guess the ol' BATF thinks you'd use it like a hammer to smack someone upside the head"_
