Privately made firearm

A privately made firearm (PMF) refers to a firearm that is manufactured by an individual or entity typically for personal use, rather than for sale by a licensed gun manufacturer. This often includes firearms that are built from kits or parts, or those that are home-built from scratch. In many jurisdictions, individuals are allowed to manufacture firearms for personal use without needing to be a licensed manufacturer, although there may be certain regulations and requirements that need to be adhered to.
