BATFE has already ruled that CNC of a lower is NOT legal, unless you write your own CNC code.
Pushing the button on someone else's code is NOT legal, the person who wrote the code is then an unlicensed manufacturer.

So make a minor alteration to the code in a way that doesn't affect the final product. Then the code is essentially "yours."

YOU can explain how the code is now yours to the BATFE.
I want nothing to do with that situation.

I'm not a lawyer so I have no idea how the BATF would view it but in the tech world, companies copy software code all of the time and change around a line or two. The company they copy ends up suing only to find the court rules in favor of the copier because they changed around a line or two of code.
It is not hard one bit to take an AR15 receivers CNC code and change it enough to where it is completely different. One idea would be to copy the code and then change the out diameter of the receiver by 1/100th of an inch.
If you own the machine and you uploaded the code onto it then there is nothing anyone can say about it. The BATF wouldn't even waste their time with it.

F'em. If it's my machine, it's my product.
