So they just require the ffl transfer because its serialized, not because its classified as a gun? Interesting. I knew it needed ffl and everything, can't say I knew exactly why though since its not a gun as you said.OldCannon wrote:A lower is not a gun. It's a receiver. To the ATF, it is not a rifle or a shotgun, therefore it's marked as an "other" in the transfer. It is logged as a "Receiver" in the A&D log. Yes, it's a serialized component, but it is NOT a gun.sjfcontrol wrote:Could you explain why it would't? The lower is the formal "gun" part.OldCannon wrote:No, it absolutely doesn't. Why do you think that?
An AR-15 "stripped lower" is not, and never has been, considered a "gun" in any legal consideration (ok, I can't speak for the insane states like CA or NY)
Edit: In a twisted sense of irony, if you are under 21, you _cannot_ transfer a AR-15 stripped lower, but you can buy a complete rifle. Go figure
I actually bought two rifles from cabelas a couple months ago and asked about this but they said they had no requirement like that. Has this been pending the court outcome?
