Is there any law against an individual making, manufacturing, a firearm for his or hers own personnel use? Specifically, a crude smooth-bore single shot handgun that utilizes shotgun shells..(.410)

Or could the BATF folks, at their discretion, prosecute you under the sawed-off shotgun law and put you in prison for 10 years...

I'm just trying to figure out how deep the water is before I build a crude pistol.
