Which real steel parts do I need a license to buy? Can I procure stocks and barrels without a license? (I am going to buy a mosin nagant stock, barrel, and upper handguard and put shotty (Gryphon's conversion with a better shotgun) internals into it using some sandpaper, epoxy, screws, and my trusty dremel tool) I am 16, so I can't just buy the whole gun..... I live in Minnesota

You should have no issue with buying all the parts minus the reciever. If you do that I would consider buying a JG BAR10 instead of a shotgun to convert.

Yea I was gonna say it would be kind of a waste to use all those expensive real parts on a $30 shot gun. It will also be much more sell-able in the future if you use the BAR-10, not to mention it will be more skirmishable for you. Your choice though.

Yeah, I am actually going to use a Bar-10 Maybe I will post pictures when it's finished... right now I have to wait about 2 weeks to have the money, and then maybe another few to get the materials required. My Dremel broke, so I have to buy a new Dremel too.... this might be a conversion finished in a month or two.... .

Those parts are cheap man. A real steel working mosin is worth 100 dollars. I find parts at gun shows. They are real cheap if you know where to look.

I agree the Mosin Nagant parts are among the least expensive you'll find. The stock, handguard and all the hardware is all you'll need. You won't need the barrel , receiver group or bolt. One cautionary note is that the Mosin stock is quite thin so you don't have a lot of tolerances side to side once you hollow things out for your Bar 10 guts and magazine.
Use a section of brass tubing for your barrel and that should work fine.

Yea I have been very leery on making a Mosin as there is no realistic way to do the bolt/receiver part.
