The definition of "manufacture": the making of articles on a large scale using machinery.
I don't think that would apply here. Is there a different definition for firearms?
If you had a damaged lower, would you not be able to repair it. If it was manufactured with a defect would you not be able to correct it?
I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think an individual making changes to a legally purchased regulated lower constitutes manufacturing unless the change makes the lower non-compliant.
I am just an average schlub using a normal definition and logic to come to a reasonable conclusion, so in Maryland you can probably throw it out the window.
