Hi all,
I am pretty new to all of this and I have a question for all of you. I have a buddy, in a different state, that has a couple of stripped lowers that he wants to get rid of and is offering to sell me one pretty cheap. Is there any legal reason I should not do this? Thanks |

Thanks yea, if they are stolen!  No shouldn't have issues, just have them sent to an ffl (gunstore) for the transfer (which runs $15-25) around here in indy at least.

Thanks for the responses. I do trust the guy and I am pretty sure they are not stolen but I don't think he is interested in doing a transfer for what ever reason. I just want to make sure I do the right thing from my standpoint and if that means waiting a little longer to save up and get something different than I am fine with that.
On a side note, they are forged Olympic Arms receivers and I think he wants around $60 for one. Is that a descent deal? |

60 bucks isn't bad.
If you do a face to face transfer things should be ok, but you still may want to check local laws. As a cover your own butt, treat it like any non-ffl firearm purchase. I always bring/fill out two bills of sale, one for the seller, and one for the buyer. That way at least you can say you had a good faith effort of buying something from someone. |
