Actually, that's not exactly true.

You cannot legally manufacture a firearm intended for sale without having an appropriate FFL (and ITAR certification, etc.)

You can absolutely manufacture a firearm for your own use, and then at a later date, sell that firearm.

Small clarification - I don't think you can sell it to an FFL or through an FFL. I think you'd be able to sell it directly to another person, but there's no mechanism to have it go through the NICS system (which requires a manufacturer and serial number).

Guns made before the serial number requirement can still be sold through FFLs, I see no reason why this would be different as long as everything else is legally up-to-snuff.
