I like to build AK's. The AK I well be building next well be with an 80% receiver. (I will assume you know what a 80% receiver is) I will not be selling or trading this gun. It well remain in my personal collection. Do I need to engrave the required info (manufacture, caliber, model .......) on the receiver when complete?
Private individuals are not required to mark or serialize firearms they make on their own for their own personal use/collection.
Licensed manufacturers are required to mark all firearms made (or "re-made").
I am not a lawyer, and this does not constitute legal advice.
Is tha AK you're planning to build going to be an NFA item? (SBR)
No, fixed butt stock, 16 inch barrel
Then what sillycon said.
As long as you are making it for your own personal use, then no marking is required. However, if you intend to sell it or give it... You need to mark it.
