Re: California Man Mysteriously Freed After Selling Illegal AR-15s
He was completing 80% lowers. Actually, he had 80% build parties where people came to his shop and completed their own 80% lowers. An AR15 lower, according to this judge and another, do not meet the legal definition of a receiver.flintknapper wrote: ↑Sun Oct 13, 2019 8:15 pm Not enough specific information, but sounds like the Judge was correct even if BATFE doesn't like it.
And AR 'recievers' do NOT come in two pieces, the basic forged receiver is one piece and would require a serial number. You would have to add all the other components to it (including a Bolt Carrier Group) to make it functional. The receiver (serialized) is THE part considered the firearm. But in the report they don't say what parts he was selling or manufacturing.

Nicolaysen argued that the definition of a receiver under the relevant federal code differed in various ways from the AR-15 component Roh was accused of manufacturing.
Under the US Code of Federal Regulations, a firearm frame or receiver is defined as: “That part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel.” (emphasis added)
The lower receiver in Roh’s case does not have a bolt or breechblock and is not threaded to receive the barrel, Nicolaysen noted.
