Well be cautious with even that. If I sold you a stripped lower and all the parts to assemble a gun, then I've sold you a rifle that excise tax should be paid on.
Unfortunately with the ATF at what point they say you are manufacturing the gun, versus assembling the parts is arbitrary by the agent it seems.

I will do some more research. Maybe even call the ATF about it just to make sure. I am starting to bang my head against the wall with it all. Starting to question if the market will cover the expense....

I have an 01 and I called ATF and asked if it were legal for me to put a COMPLETE lower onto a COMPLETE upper and SELL the gun as a complete rifle, mind you, this entire process entails a whopping TWO pins.
The answer: NO, that's is manufacturing!!
Its legal for individuals to buy uppers and lowers and then sell their completed gun, but dealers ( holding an 01 ) cannot, go figure....

It is because lower was sold as a receiver/frame and not a rifle. By selling it that way the manufacturer didn't have to pay an 11% excise tax. When you assemble them and sell them as a dealer you are making a complete rifle, which is subject to that 11% excise tax.
