The only part of an AR that is considered a firearm and thus requires an FFL transfer is the lower receiver. Stripped or complete, it doesn't matter. The barrel, upper receiver, LPK, buttstock, etc. are just parts and do not require an FFL transfer. If you could find a stripped lower and do a private sale, that would be even better. MJD |

"do a private sale, that would be even better"
OR don't break the law and have a criminal record, then the background check is no big deal. |

That's true, background checks are no big deal, but it's more a matter of where does the information on the 4473's go, how is it stored and who has access to it. I fail to believe the ATF is destroying the sale information like they're supposed to. Call me paranoid if you want. MJD |

Thanks for the answer. Here they take fingerprints too. I've herd that they keep the records forever too. I would rather buy from private party. I like my privacy and plan to keep it.

Bah. Why would you care if you put your SS on the form? You put every other piece of info. Lighten up on the tinfoil.

Every Dealer keeps them for 20 years. If a Dealer goes out of business, he sends them to the BATFE. |

I know a lot of places forget to destroy the forms after 20 years.

No firearms dealer is going to take fingerprints for AR15 receiver sales, Pawn shops might want a fingerprint if you sell/pawn an item to them. |

Which was the deciding factor in me doing a FTF buy on a completed AR in lieu of buying a stripped lower and building my own at this time. When I can find a stripped lower from someone local, I'll do a FTF on that too. Then I'll start to build my own. A single traffic ticket (and I was innocent!) is the extent of my criminal career... but I value my privacy. |
