i saw it stated " that any striped frame sold in PA, is automaticly regestered as a pistol frame " i find this hard to believe any in put |
|
When I went to pick up my lower I asked my dealer to register it as a pistol for a ar15 pistol build. He told me in PA all stripped lowers ar sold as pistol lowers which is fine by me because thats what I wanted anyway. This has nothing to due withe the ATF this a state law.I have read that other states due the same. |
| as others have stated as well as my ffl dealer - ar lowers (stripped - devoid of parts) are registered as rifles. you would have to fill out a handgun registration form if they were considered pistols. the pistol recievers have to be designated that way from the manufacturer. cmmg has them for sale as do some others on this site. |
| well, i had to see for myself - i have purchased a stripped lower today and have registered it as a pistol. easy as that. when you purchase it, the fll will designate it as a pistol or rifle - your choice, unless the lower is specifally marked. i got a stag arms lower and it has no markings as to whether it is a rifle or pistol, so i registered it as a pistol. this will be my first pistiol build. why you ask? well, the answer is simple... because i can. |
