If it is not considered to be a gun of some kind, then why do you have to fill out a 4473 for an AR lower?mrvmax wrote: Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:33 amCorrect, a receiver is not a firearm so it doesn’t fall under the multiple rifle sales reporting requirements.

I never said they make sense, I don’t understand much of what they do and sometimes they don’t understand it eitherThe Annoyed Man wrote: Wed Jun 20, 2018 4:39 pmIf it is not considered to be a gun of some kind, then why do you have to fill out a 4473 for an AR lower?mrvmax wrote: Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:33 amCorrect, a receiver is not a firearm so it doesn’t fall under the multiple rifle sales reporting requirements.

What types of rifles are required to be reported?
A2. The rifle transactions that must be reported are dispositions of semiautomatic rifles capable of accepting a detachable magazine and with a caliber greater than .22 (including .223/5.56 caliber) to an unlicensed person. However, the reporting requirement does not apply to receivers for such rifles. You may contact the Firearms Technology Branch at (304) 616-4300 if you are unable to determine if the rifles are subject to the reporting requirements.
OK, so just to be clear.......if I bought 15 Remington 700 receivers, 15 Glock 17 lowers, and 15 Mossberg 500 receivers, they would all be treated the same as AR15 receivers for the purposes of ATF? .....not that I’d have any such intentions......mrvmax wrote: Thu Jun 21, 2018 4:17 pmI never said they make sense, I don’t understand much of what they do and sometimes they don’t understand it eitherThe Annoyed Man wrote: Wed Jun 20, 2018 4:39 pmIf it is not considered to be a gun of some kind, then why do you have to fill out a 4473 for an AR lower?mrvmax wrote: Wed Jun 20, 2018 5:33 amCorrect, a receiver is not a firearm so it doesn’t fall under the multiple rifle sales reporting requirements.
I believe multiple Remington 700 and Mossberg 500 purchases wouldn't be reported, even if they're complete firearms, because bolt action and pump action long guns are not subject to that requirement.The Annoyed Man wrote: Thu Jun 21, 2018 5:52 pm OK, so just to be clear.......if I bought 15 Remington 700 receivers, 15 Glock 17 lowers, and 15 Mossberg 500 receivers, they would all be treated the same as AR15 receivers for the purposes of ATF? .....not that I’d have any such intentions......
I bought 3, picked up in person, for under $100.puma guy wrote: Tue Jun 19, 2018 8:00 pmWolverine wrote: Tue Jun 19, 2018 5:26 pmSomebody was selling $30 lowers a while back.03Lightningrocks wrote: Tue Jun 19, 2018 5:21 pm I sure wish I could afford to buy multiple guns all at once.Primary Arms in Houston had stripped Anderson lowers for $29.99!
I was tempted but still have two from a previous $30 sale I haven't built yet. However, I did yield to temptation and got a Spike's Honey Badger lower for $75 from PA last week.
