I am a lifelong hunter, but this is something I know nothing about and am not about to mess around with.

My brother in law built a semi-auto rifle for a guy and is selling it to him. Normally I do not give a damn about stuff like this, but here is the kicker. He works out of state and is asking my wife to meet the guy and sell the gun to him. As far as I can tell it is an AM-15 rifle.

I did a quick Google search and from what I gather it is completely legal to manufacture your own weapons for private use, but it is illegal to manufacture guns in the state of Minnesota with the intent to sell privately. I guess it is not completely clear where that line is drawn though because you can sell a privately made weapon as long as it is not obvious that it was manufactured with the intent to sell from the beginning. This gun was made less than a month ago and it is very obvious it was made for the purpose of selling to this guy.

If my wife follows through with this (I have absolutely forbid her from doing so until I am certain she will not be breaking the law) will she be committing a felony? or breaking any law for that matter? it certainly seems to me that she is...
