If you complete an 80% lower, then down the road give it to your daughter, wife, son, nephew, etc., it isn't regulated. If you start cranking them out and selling them, you're considered to be operating a firearms manufacturing business without a license.
if you or your friend have the correct ffl 07 ( which is for manufacturing firearms)that is correct it can change hands. once you complete an 80% yourself( without ffl07) it is now considered a firearm and its yours alone and can not transfer to any one. I called the atf on this before I started doing my own for the very reason you state about passing down when I die or whatever and was told "its only non regulated while in the 80% state." you can make all of the non nfa regulated firearms you want to for yourself but not others not even family members according to atf if you give it to someone its is technically considered ownership transferred. I would hate to see someone get in trouble because they don't understand the law or at least how ATF sees it. that's how they explained it to me anyway.
