@starwarsman96 You cannot sell a privately made firearm in the US. The BATFE says you can make your own guns from "scratch" (and they have rules on what that is too), but you can never sell, transfer, loan, or even will it to anyone else, not even your own family. They "reccomend" putting a serial number on it. It must be destroyed if you no longer want it, you die, etc. You *can* sell it if you get a *manufacturer's* license, which costs much more than an FFL, and has tougher requirements.
@5687678 An engraving shop can put a number on for you, or you can buy a hammer stamping kit for $20- $50. Most states do not require a serial number so you should contact the state police and ask if you need one.
@ConcealedFirepower It is indeed NOT a firearm until bent. You can in theory serialize the receiver and sell the gun, though if you are caught making the guns for the specific purpose of selling you are now in the criminal realm.
@ferrypilot should be making a lower receiver out of stainless soon. the bending or pressing increases the strength at the corners. austenetic/ferretic Duplex. 25 cr / 6.0 ni / may be molybdenum 3% approximately. lol im a little high at moment
@starwarsman96 yeah thats what ive gathered from endless searching. I just didnt want to build something, then go get killed in a car wreck and by default leave my loved ones in possession of a now illegal firearm. Seems the occasional transfer is OK, and actually there was a bit on history channel about just this with a a guy that builds 80% receivers in Montana. Rather be safe than sorry you know?

What paper work do you need to get a serial number? and where can you get it punched onto the receiver?
