Alright guys, I'm new here but have a question. Tell me if this thread is in the wrong space, or if i'm doing anything wrong. Alright as of 2012 in CA a person under 21 can buy a fully built AR but they have to be 21 to build one correct? So what if my cousin and I build it and take it to an FFL to do the transfer on the whole gun if that works and is legal. Is that at all possible or is there any other way around that? Thanks Alex

I'm not sure on the current CA laws, but I would check on CalGuns for a more specific answer.

Under federal rules, an AR 15 lower receiver cannot be transferred to someone under 21 as it could be built into a pistol. So you could get a complete AR 15 if you were under 21, just not an AR 15 pistol or an AR 15 lower.

If you are planning on building an AR 15, then you would have to have the lower transferred to you anyway to build it, and that is VERBOTEN!

That would be fine. It would be the same as buying a complete rifle from anybody else. It doesn't matter how it began it's life, as a stripped lower or complete build. If you haven't I suggest spending time on Calguns familiarizing yourself with CA laws regarding these types of weapons.

It has nothing to do with the possibility of building a handgun. Federal law only allows a dealer to sell a rifle or a shotgun to someone between 18 and 21 years old. A receiver does not meet the definition of a rifle or of a shotgun.

EOD guy has hit the bell.... They do not consider a stripped receiver a long gun.

Once assembled transfer away!

There may be other possibilities exist but I would tell you after consulting my father.
