What can I do with my lower?

[dak109]

A lower receiver HAS to be marked on the 4473 as an "other" on line 18, and described as a "receiver" or "frame" on line 29. The old forms, up until a few years ago, were different.



Correct on the law, incorrect reasoning. The law allows for sales of long guns to those over 18 but under 21. As noted above, the receiver (even with a stock attached) would have to be transferred out as an "other," which is different from a long gun. Thus, an 18 year-old could not buy a lower receiver from a dealer. Same goes for pistol-gripped shotguns (Mossberg Cruiser, et al), which are also transferred out as "other".

Thank you for the clarification. It had me confused when we were there. It all worked out anyway. I just sold him an old one of mine.

How is that the Thompson Center Encore is both a pistol and a rifle/shotgun?

A special determination was made for Thompson many many years ( and legal $) ago.

Just make guns like the ARs or any gun that can go from rifle to pistol a Class II weapon. Then make SBR also Class II. Lump them all as pistols.

My understanding is it can't have had a butt stock or even a stock tube, it has to be a buffer tube only, or never been listed on a 4473 as a rifle.

Nope. You can use a standard buffer tube.


ETA: OP needs to find out how it was sold, as rifle, pistol or other.

I did a pistol build and when I picked up my stripped lower I tried to have it designated as a "pistol" and the FFL stated he always put " other" on stripped lowers just to be safe!
