ATF probably wanted to make sure he wasn't selling the rifles as a buisness with out an FFL. I'll probably get flamed for this but I can understand that when someone buys lowers in bulk in such a short period of time. The red flag is raised. The lesson, buy them through different dealers, at different times, just spread it out. If you are building 12 rifles all at the same time and have no FFL I don't think you're just doing it for personal use and the visit or at least phone call is warranted. Steve |

I typically buy four to six lowers at a time from my local FFL to get the best pricing. Over the past couple years I've purchased a total of eighteen, and twelve of them have since been built into complete rifles. I have six set aside for "rainy day" purposes-I consider them money in the bank. The first time I purchased a batch of lowers the BATFE was at my local FFL-presumably to audit his books or something. They didn't give me a second glance as far as I know. |

This is exactly what happened to the Branch Davidians and David Koresh. They were dimed out by the very folks who they kept in business by buying tens of thousands of dollars of AR parts from. Then throw in a little "I thought I heard automatic fire" by some unnamed "neighbor" and you have your search warrant. You just wait. In a few years, when all of the agents involved in this fiasco are past retirement, and living nicely, there will be a tell-all. It's just a matter of which of these corrupt bastards will want the book money the most. Or it will be some disgruntled a-hole who the rest of the pack has turned its back on. |
