I just started reading this thread "Why We Tell You Not To Have The Parts To Make An SBR - Even If Not Installed"
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=17&t=289449 Has there ever been a case of someone being charged with a unregistered AOW because they have a handgun with rails on the dust cover and a spare VFG laying around? |

There is no constructive "intent" only constructive "possession"
The basis for this is ATF policy that possessing all the parts of a firearm is possession of the firearm in disassembled or "knockdown" condition. There's an out if you have a legal way to assemble all those parts, even if there are also illegal ways to assemble those parts. Basically ATF can't make the case for constructive possession unless there's at least one illegal way to use the parts you possess, and NO legal ways to use them. |

Based upon this^...its likely a good thing to have a lot of pistols w/rails if you have some FUG's hangin around. I do, as the GRIP POD's stay off most rifles until I choose which one we're using it on. Most of this time this comes down to stocks and, especially, FA FCG's...right? |
