how would I go about registering a pistol that I've made at home (preferably in lamens terms)? I have seen people say just put non virgin rec, or just fill it out as the buyer/seller but I'm not sure what to do. help please

*Edited*
Apparently the info I provided was wrong. I based my reply on the MSP telling me I had to mark a homemade pistol with a serial before I could submit a registration for it. I also know I would get a call or a door knock from my local PD if I dropped off an RI-60 void of a serial number even if I marked the box to indicate it didn't have one.
Either way, I guess my reply was legally incorrect though!

There's a few threads on this already...
You DO NOT need a serial number to own it. Fill out the Ri-60 as stated, but list the serial number as "NSN," or "No serial Number."
Keep in mind, you may want some kind of identifier on it in case it gets stolen. Something like "Stolen from jonnyboy117."
so how exactly would I fill that out then?(just put n/a when it's asks for ffl number)
Correct. "N/A" for FFL number. You'll need a CPL number to use the RI-060 form though. If you don't have a CPL, you'll need to request a "Purchase Permit" from a police department. If that's the case, basically fill it out the same. You will be the "Seller" and the Buyer" no matter which form you use.
If you run into anything else that doesn't apply, put "N/A." (Like the "NICS transaction number.")
