I was at a gun show today and purchased two AR-15 stripped lowers. The gun show was in NC and I am resident of SC. I told the guy this before we ever started the paperwork. He thought about it for a few minutes and then looked in his paperwork and said he could go ahead and sell them to me because he had them listed as "rifle receivers".
Tonight I'm looking on this site and there was an open letter sent by the ATF recently that specifically says, in regards to receivers, that they can't be sold to an out of state resident. To be completely honest, my concern is not with the FFL holder, he should have known the rules better. My question is: Is there any possiblilty of a phone call from an ATF in my future? Thanks, MarCam020 |
| If the receivers are registered as RIFLE receivers with the ATF then they may be sold to out of state residents. That's the rule. Long arms may be bought by out of state residents, and since the receivers that you bought were registered as long arms at the time of their manufacture you can legally buy them. You have NOTHING to worry about. Now if they were registered as or marked pistol then you would have to hide your dogs... |

The Dealer screwed up and he may get called on it for a compliance inspection. Receivers are not "registered " with the ATF unless they had been an NFA weapon. you should not have to worry it is the Dealer who should worry. |

For the record, the dealer violated Federal Law 922(b) by selling them to you. 5 Year felony. +1 Thats what I was thinking. Remember folks, its not a rifle untill it has been built as such. |
