Can I have a receiver shipped to a local FFL and be able to do a 4473 with a Texas ID? At least until Jan Texas is still my place of residence even with me up here but I'm in the process of moving?Posted in GD about this is but this is more relating to buying something from a dealer NDS and have it shipped to CO?

You'd have to call the dealer to confirm, but I recently checked with PSA to see if I could purchase a lower as an out of state resident while visiting one of their stores. The answer was yes for a built lower and no for a stripped lower.  The reasoning was that a stripped lower could be built as a pistol and was therefore ineligible for local purchase. In the free states, the general rule is that long guns are ok for out of state residents to purchase but that pistols can only be sold to in-state residents.

Hope that helps.

If you have something with your Colorado address on it, like a car registration, a utility bill etc., you may be able to establish your Colorado residence sufficient to meet the requirements of filling out a 4473 as a Colorado resident even with the Texas ID.

To buy on an out of state ID, it must be bought from an FFL and must be a complete rifle or shotgun, no receivers or handguns.

Just because someone has an out of state ID does not necessarily mean that they are not a Colorado resident for the purposes of buying a firearm.

Nor does them having an CO ID make them a resident, for that matter - I'm not trying to exhaustively cover every possibility, and the use of a utility bill, etc had already been mentioned.  

My emphasis was meant to be that a non-resident can only purchase a complete rifle or shotgun, not a handgun or "other".  If he wants to buy a stripped NDS lower, OP will absolutely have to prove CO residency to the transferring FFL.
