It's been a long time and the laws have probably changed some since I
had a dealers license but if I remember right if you made a receiver and
never had a manufacturing license, it had to have a tax stamp and I believe
it was 200.00 per stamp in the late 70's early 80's. I believe they had it
that high to discourage people from building guns.

I'm not having any luck tracking down info on laws about making
personal
(not for sale) guns.

You need a manufacturer's or gunsmith license, whether you are "not
going to sell them" or otherwise.

Otherwise:

Sorry wrong answer.

Perfectly legal to build your own firearms as long as it is not a type
covered by the National Firearms Act or otherwise restricted by your state
or local laws.

Manufacturer's license is only needed if you intend to sell. Read the ATF
web site http://www.atf.treas.gov/
