I live in CT but go to college in PA. If I purchase a lower from KS, can I have the seller ship it to an FFL in PA so that I can do paperwork there, pick it up, and drive back to CT with it at a later date?
(Just FYI, I don't intend on bringing the lower on campus!) |

Quoted: Has the ATF stated this in a letter or other communication to FFLs? The last thing I read was someone posting it was a mistake for NICS to deny sales to non-residents for "other" receivers as they are not pistol receivers. Stripped lower, no. Built out to rifle configuration, yes. |

Quoted: ETC: So a stripped frame or receiver is neither a pistol/revolver/rifle/shotgun but is classified as a "firearm" and cannot be transferred to by an FFL to someone under the age of 21. It's no mistake, it's the new ATF bullsh!t. From the 11-2208 an unassembled frame or receiver "would not meet the definition of pistol or revolver" and a multiple sale report is not required when transferring more than one receiver in a five business day period. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/newsletter/1108fflnewsletter.pdf Q. Do I report unassembled frames and receivers as part of a multiple sale? A. No. A frame or receiver would not meet the definition of pistol or revolver. Therefore, unassembled frames or receivers should not be reported as part of a multiple sale on an ATF Form 3310.4. |

Only a long gun may be transferred to a non-resident by an FFL. Stripped receivers are "other", not "long gun".
http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#f2 (F2) May a licensed dealer sell a firearm to a non-licensee who is a resident of another State? Generally, a firearm may not lawfully be sold by a licensed dealer to a non-licensee who resides in a State other than the State in which the seller’s licensed premises is located. However, the sale may be made if the firearm is shipped to a licensed dealer whose business is in the purchaser’s State of residence and the purchaser takes delivery of the firearm from the dealer in his or her State of residence. In addition, a licensee may sell a rifle or shotgun to a person who is not a resident of the State where the licensee’s business premises is located in an over-the-counter transaction, provided the transaction complies with State law in the State where the licensee is located and in the State where the purchaser resides. [18 U.S.C. 922(b)(3)] |
