Depends on the gun being made. If it is a NFA controlled weapon the answer is YES. If it is a non NFA gun the answer is NO.

The regulations are many and varied but generally speaking to make a standard run of the mill Non NFA firearm for personal use no licenses or registration is required. If you make a firearm and sell it that changes the status of you and the firearm. Because anyone in the business of making or selling firearms must have a FFL.

This applies to Fereral Regulations only and State and Local laws will vary.
