Now that a stripped lower is its own category on the form 4473...
I know I can buy and take possession of a rifle or shotgun from a dealer in a neighboring state. I know I cannot take possession of a handgun from a dealer in a neighboring state. If I buy from him, he must ship to an FFL in my home state and I take possession there. How is a stripped lower treated? Can I buy one and take possession in a neighboring state like a rifle or shotgun? I ask because I am buying a stripped lower on-line and my uncle has an FFL but he is in SC and I'm in NC so I wasn't sure if I could use him for the transfer or not. I know if it was a complete AR, I could use him and I actually have in the past. I wasn't sure about the stripped lower now that they are their own category. |

According to the 1968 Gun Control Act, only long guns (rifle or shotgun) can be purchased from a dealer by an out-of-state resident (if such sale is allowed by the state law where the dealer does business). A receiver has its own definition as a firearm, and is not a long gun.
