It might depend on where you live. I don't know anything about ny gun laws but here in Louisiana, i purchased a stripped lower and had it transfered through a ffl. The kit and mags i ordered were delivered straight to my door.

It is my understanding that the lower is the firearm and everything else is "accessories". As long as you don't have more than 2 of the "evil features" when complete you are ok. I think the purpose of DIY is to learn the rifle and save money(the Excise tax). But this is my$.02.
If I am wrong disregard entire post![:D] |

On an AR15 the lower receiver is the part with the serial number and IS the gun. You register this same as a complete rifle.
Once it is registered to you, you are done with registration. Build it up however you please, just make sure to NOT use any pre-ban parts / features to stay legal. This is the whole deal in Arizona at least, other states may have more restrictions... but isn't this still the U.S.A.? (sort of). |

Jake because the lower is the reciever i.e. "the gun" that usually has to be shipped to an FFL, rather than to you directly, but it is not "registered." You do have to fill out a form to acquire possession of it, just as you have to with any other firearm you recieve from an FFL, but it is not "registered."
There are some areas of NY state that prohibit the possession (or require registration of) of even post ban AR15 type rifles-New York City and I believe Albany, Rochester and perhaps Buffalo; there could be others. |

If you ever sell the completed rifle, you technically owe 10% federal tax on the sale.
If you sell the upper to one person and the lower assembly to another person, you owe no federal tax. Then again, you are going to make a nice gun. Never sell a nice gun. You'll wish you had it back. Pete |
