The bill refers to design, they can say, since it meets Gov spec, it must be
a controlled item.

You know this a real good thought experiment. If you buy these 4 peices
from a scrap yard, like $0.05 per pound scrap iron, and reassemble it, then
is it really an M151 again? (Technically in the eyes of the state it is a
homebuilt or a reconstructed vehicle). Take it a step further, if you make
an M151 body from new material that you buy from steel yards, is that an
M151? How and were do you draw a line concerning the governments right to
claim that it's thier property??? I have no answer just something I think
about now and then.
