Apparently the regulations on privately made firearms are so complicated this page of ATF's website doesn't even attempt to explain it --it just says be careful and follow the law when dealing with these things!!!
www.atf.gov
My recollection from hearing about this issue a year ago through regular news was that privately made firearms could be sold only if they had manufacturers markings (name and city of residence of the builder) and a serial number.
And if the gun went through a dealer it would have to be registered in the dealer's book and the 4473 done and Brady Background Check law applied.
I don't remember what the new rule did regarding face-to-face private transactions between residents of the same state.
Privately Made Firearms | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
Privately made firearms (PMFs) are firearms (including a frame or receiver) that have been completed, assembled or otherwise produced by a person other than a licensed manufacturer. PMFs are also made without a serial number placed by a licensed manufacturer at the time the firearm was produced...

In one word, NOPE.
Has to be serialized before being sold.

If it's an unfinished 80% lower, as in still in its 80% configuration, it doesn't have to have a serial number. When the 80% lower is finished into a 100% lower you have to put a serial number on it to sell it. At least that's the way it was at one time.
