must be 21+ to purchase stripped AR receiver?

[spanky]

is this a fact?

 

[dzelenka]

That shouldn't be true. It is a rifle as far as ATF is concerned so 18 is the age unless you register it as a pistol.

That is how I understand it.

Why did you hear otherwise?

 

[aroundlsu]

Can you buy a rifle from a dealer at 18?

 

[dzelenka]

Yes.

Might be like ammo...
Store employee: Is this for a pistol of a rifle?
Customer: Pistol.
Store employee: Sorry Spanky, come back when you are a few years older.

I know I was under 21 when I purchased a shotgun from the Sports Authority or something similar that ain't there no more. It was on Williams in the shopping center with the Army surplus store.

 

[spanky]

I was told this on another site. I asked for a site and was advised to call ATF. Then I remembered there being a new 4473 and some new regs so I didn't completely dismiss it.

[CajunTim]

When did/are the regs concerning the updated 4473 promulgated?

 

[aroundlsu]

See below. Stripped receivers must be marked other. You must be 21+ to buy an other.

 

[spanky]

Well I suppose that clears that up.

Teddy for the win.

WHat if they have a buttstock on them?

 

[Bearco]

<------ Wow, when did I go over 1000 posts? 4 me

 

[CajunTim]

is this a fact?

No, to have one transferred to you then yes, is that the right answer?

 

[ajt2341]

Here's a question. I thought before that if you wanted to use the AR lower for a pistol you just marked pistol when purchasing it. Now that it has it's own category, how would I designate an AR lower for a pistol build? Do I just build it to pistol standards?

 

[cajun 22]

Yes. Receivers can be built into pistols as long as the receiver is not designated a long gun or never built into one. Some manufacturers are producing pistol receivers just for this. Good Luck.
