Complete or not it should still be considered a rifle.Really need one FTF as I'm only 19 lol. It sucks. I can go buy rifles all day long at 19 but I like to build them, and can't unless I get my lowers FTF for another 2 years.

It's considered "other" 21 yrs required.
Does that mean it needs to be shipped to a ffl in state?It's considered "other" 21 yrs required.

Yes, actually.Does that mean it needs to be shipped to a ffl in state?

Yes, you absolutely do:
A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.
[18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)]
But this statement is not mentioning the USPS at all:
" A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. "
As a stripped lower is not a rifle or a shotgun, it looks like it cannot be.
ETA: If I'm wrong, I'd love to be, for convenience of forum sales if nothing else - it'd save gas costs and more people would be likely to bid/buy. I just don't see it.
I see what you're saying, now. I just did a text-search for "Ship" on the page, and didn't see the last half of the Q: that specified USPS.But it's in the section on the USPS. You have to reference the verbiage within the section. There is a whole other section on shipping items not through the USPS. That's why your section refers to "mail".
