Hi folks,

I currently have a factory new RRA receiver on it's way up from Kentucky.  I would love to build it into a pistol and had a couple question regarding the transfer.

Do I need to have it transferred to me as a pistol?

Can I have it transferred to me as a pistol?

Is it possible to have it transferred a just a stripped lower  (not a rifle or pistol specifically)?


It is not a RRA "pistol"  lower, but it has most definitely not been built as a rifle previously.


Thanks for the help.

From what I can tell you would list it as a "New stripped lower" on the 4473.  It should be built as a pistol for the FIRST build.  You could also call it a "New pistol lower", but I don't think that is necessary.  Do a search, I think this subject has been beaten to death.

a receiver that has never had a stock can be made into a pistol.

With that in mind, you can transfer it as you wish. It is typically recommended to transfer it as a pistol receiver, or annotate that it is stripped. However, federal law wise, there is no legal requirement one way or another.


YMMV, i am not a lawyer, and don't play one on tv.

No

You can. But they insist on insurance and overnight UPS and all kinds of transfer charges.

Best way to do it.
