I am always somewhat fascinated by thread titles containing the words, “Theoretical Question . . . !”
Or, asking for a friend or friend of a friend and my neighbor asked me..

Hi All,
Theoretical question here. Lets say you acquired several firearms while married, and are now getting divorced. Your wife asks you for one, but it's a 80%. I'm thinking the right thing to do in that situation would be to have it serialized and transferred via MSP. Theoretically you "could" just give it to the other party, but would that leave you with some responsibility for what they do with it?
Thank you!
If you’re not divorced yet, just give it to her (assuming she’s not prohibited).

The OP never said whether the 80% had been completed into a firearm. Assuming that it was:
You can do that with a long gun, but wouldn't a handgun (or a lower that could become a handgun) require a 77R transfer, even to a relative? And if it's not a C&R handgun, wouldn't she need to have a HQL?
And if it still isn't legally a firearm yet, then as long as you have no reason to believe she'd do anything illegal with it, I don't see a problem with giving the paperweight to her.
I was under the impression an 80% had to be completed yourself and cannot be given away.. Maybe to a spouse is different?

If she hates enough to divorce you , and wants your Stuff that you value but she doesn't , she'll hate you enough to say that you handed her a non- Roster Handgun you built .

You can not build a homemade firearm , with intent to sell . The occasional incidental sale is not prohibited .
But IF such homemade firearm(s) are Handguns ( and not homemade before Jan 1 , 1985) , then the Handgun Roster comes into play .
