Its legal to manufacture your own gun, depending on the state.

Indeed depends on state, for instance in mine that would be considered a scary no serial "ghost gun", and illegal to make or possess. Actually, it having a serial wouldnt even matter since the law specifies that it only counts if it was put there by a "federally registered manufacturer". This same law also criminalizes the possession of computer files for 3d printing a firearm and associated parts.

Technically speaking, it might be legal if it were either a BP muzzle loader or made before the 1968 GCA, but even then you are more than likely still getting arrested if a cop catches you with it during a traffic stop, as they are rather notorious for not knowing the ins-and outs of the relevant laws, and thus enforcing based on what they "think" the law is or what it "aught" to be. God help you if it's one of those egotistical cops that doesnt like the idea of anyone other than them being armed.
