ghost gun
A partially finished firearm that you complete yourself.
A firearm assembled from parts made on a 3D printer.
Since a completed firearm with a registered serial number was never sold, then it is argued that it is untraceable so the label "ghost gun" is used to describe it.

Example:
Lower receivers on modern sporting rifles that are only partially completed and it is left to the individual, usually with machining tools, to turn it into a functioning weapon.
With the advent of 3D printing it is becoming possible to make parts that can be assembled into a functioning firearm.
The assembled parts are referred to as a "ghost gun" because the lack of a registered serial number or paper trail makes it hard to trace.
