So just to be clear I put all the parts on to build it as a pistol with no purchase permit as I'm not purchasing a pistol?
Correct. The Michigan penal code specifically states that a purchaser or seller both reference another person that performs the act i.e. a purchaser gets from another person and a seller gives to another person respectively. There is no other person involved in this case since you are building one yourself and you cannot have yourself listed as both a purchaser AND seller.
Gee... if only we had a forum dedicated to NFA stuff on here...
