Guys, you're being trolled by anti-gun people.
That you'll end up with a lot of fire power to hunt with when you’re done; unless of course you’re hunting people (which was my first joke). Then that weapon is perfect as that's what it was designed for originally. Good luck with your project.
I suppose it would be outrageous to assume it could be used for defending his loved ones against aggressive individuals carrying their own weapons while trespassing inside his home?
Nah, you're right, his writing style screams cold blooded murderer to me...
Certainly they can be used for personal defense. I use a .50 BMG for home defense myself because I don’t just want to stop them I prefer to cut them completely in half with just a few rounds. More cost effective in the long run.
I realize it's funny for you, but when intruders are actually in your home, it's a different story. Obviously you used .50 BMG to be ridiculous, but 5.56 is entirely suitable for the job. Since you want to go to extremes, how about you use a sharp stick to defend your wife and children against three armed intruders carrying Glock 17s?

This is the only AR-15 part that would legally require a background check in USA.
If someone has a 3D printer they could print one, though I don't know how well it would work:

This^ .. there should be an open project to reproduce every part. Was thinking something like a glock would be easier to start with though.
I'm not aware of any 3d printing methods capable of producing a working lower. At least not working in the sense that you could use it more than once. I don't think that even laser sintering is up to it just yet. Maybe in a few years.
If you are going to do it yourself today, you want to go here and read up while you wait for your Sherline to ship.
You'll have to forgive him...he resides in California. They are different people there...
If there's a joke in there somewhere, I'm too stupid to see it. What's the punch line?
I was thinking the same thing. He wants a record of the transactions so the ADA’s case is a slam dunk. Will there be a separate thread listing the chronology of the crimes committed with said weapon or will that just be posted here as well? lol
I appreciate the humor, but where I live, I can order everything I need (except the lower, which i've already purchased from a dealer) shipped to my door, and be completely legal. I love living in the middle of nowhere.
Well those rabbits in you back woods are sure gonna be pissed when you get this assault rifle complete. Make sure to test it with a rubber band to guarantee it can be bump-fired like a full automatic US Army issued M-16.

btw, I don't know if edited posts show up as "unread" or not in terms of the forum showing up as boldfaced or regular. So you might check my place holders from time to time for updates. I'll try to note them here as well when I update with a picture or text or something. Since today is new and fresh and I'm figuring a bunch of stuff out, it's more likely to be edited today, and then will go dormant until parts arrive. 
Awesome thread.
As for the receiver, another option might have been an 80% receiver if there are any companies accepting bitcoins.

Awesome !
Hey, let me know if you need any other parts

AR-15 is semi auto. There is federal standing on intra-state sales involving non FFL. In VA for example I could (but likely wouldn't) sell any firearms to anyone* without doing any background check. It is called a person to person sale. Only if the sale crosses state lines would it fall under federal law.
* You are prohibited from selling to a person KNOWN to be prohibited buyer. If the person is anonymous well there is no way for someone to know if they are prohibited or not and the law doesn't require any "due diligence" beyond that.
For the record I don't think it is smart to sell firearms to other people anonymously just because unless you purchased the weapon anonymously if it is used in a crime the paper trail is going to lead to yourself. The resulting legal headache (even if you have done nothing wrong) is not likely worth it.
Yes, I can legally receive everything (but the lower receiver) through the mail to my door.
If anyone following this thread has any AR-15 parts, (especially new-ish) that they'd be willing to sell for this project, I'd be interested to hear what you have.
Make sure you view the posts above as time goes on, as I will be editing the placeholders as I get stuff. But again, this will be ongoing, possibly over several months, so it will take a while. My 7970 can only crank so fast!

interesting post, I will be following

I'll edit the lower placeholder when I get pics, but yeah I purchased the stripped lower receiver from a local dealer (with cash from btc), so I'm legal, and passed the background check.
I initially wanted the entire purchase to be via bitcoins, but not finding a dealer who would accept btc, I needed to use cash for the lower receiver. Hopefully this will be the only "cheating" I will need to do. I will have to "cheat" and buy amazon gift cards as well, but have already accepted that fact until btc gets more popular.
I also started a thread on www.ar15.com hoping that I can garner interest in bitcoins there as well.
So this will be a fun/interesting project!

You planning on taking receipt of that lower receiver directly without an FFL?
Well, of course you can purchase the parts if you sell the bitcoins for USD and buy them like that. You could acquire a Ferrari in the same manner
To make the project interesting, you'll need to buy the parts directly with BTC.
I'm sure you saw The Armory thread, about the new weapons site on Tor? A few quick PMs there and I'm sure you'd have what you're looking for, payable solely in BTC.

accessories placeholder (optics, rail accessories, magazines, etc)
edit 3/5/12: purchased a 30 round magazine (.223/5.56) directly from jwzguy for bitcoins. Thanks for helping with my project.
edit 3/7/12: received the England (made by Royal Ordinance) 30 round magazine from jwzguy. Thanks again!
edit 3/5/12: I forgot I had a magazine stored away that my grandpa had. It was made by Adventure Line Manufacturing in Parsons, KS. It's been stored away for at least 20 years, and was loaded with blanks. No idea if the magazine or rounds will work properly but I will find out as soon as the gun is put together.
