I used cabela's as an example because not every state has a keefer's or shydas, haha those are local to me, I just want it to be simple and easy.. so if I were to stroll into my local shop and say heres some loot I need a pws pistol lower.. And heres more loot I'm gonna need this adams arms pdw tactical elite in 7.5" form order it up... Then I suppose theyre transfer the lower to me as a pistol and then ill go home rack the 2 into 1 and order up som troy buis and an eotech after a paychk or 2 lol, thats all im hoping for really
Does it sound like itll work?
Idk how or what to buy to build a stripped lower... and I dont think I have the knowledge to do so, I just want it to be legal, if I didnt care I'd order sum magpul stock action and that cool forward grip they make!!
And another question that KAC handstop isn't considered a forward grip could I run that on a pistol legally??
No it won't work because there is no such thing as a pistol lower. ALL
LOWERS MUST BE TRANSFERRED AS A RECEIVER. IT IS IN VIOLATION OF ATF
REGULATIONS TO SELL THEM AS ANYTHING ELSE.
Why is this simple statement so hard to understand for everybody? Here is the definition of a pistol as codified:
Pistol.
A weapon originally designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile
(bullet) from one or more barrels when held in one hand, and having (a) a
chamber(s) as an integral part(s) of, or permanently aligned with, the
bore(s); and (b) a short stock designed to be gripped by one hand and at
an angle to and extending below the line of the bore(s).Now please note that a lower, frame or receiver can not fire a
projectile form one or more barrels because they do not have barrels.
They are therefore not pistols or pistol lowers, they are simply
firearms in accordance with, and by definition of the gun control act of
1968.
If you want a pistol but don't want to or can't assemble a stripped lower then you have 3 choices
1. Buy a complete lower, this will be already built with the fire
control group, buffer assembly and most time, a stock. This MUST
transfer on the form 4473 as a receiver in accordance with ATF
regulations. (see above letter). Buy an assembled upper of your choice,
any barrel length you wish. then assemble the two together and you have a
pistol.
2. Buy an already built pistol from a FFL.
3. Buy and already built pistol from an individual.
Option 1 will require a background check and must transfer as a receiver (not pistol) on form 4473.
Option 2 will require a background check and must transfer as a pistol on form 4473.
Option 3 may or may not require background check and transfer as a pistol on form 4473 if your state requires it.
That is the only options to legally obtain a AR pistol without building it yourself, or having it built for you.
And yes you can use a hand stop or a AFG on your pistol.
Here is your best plan of action based on you last post:Order this CLICK and have it delivered to your FFL. When it arrive he will transfer it to you as a receiver on form 4473. Order this CLICK and have it shipped to you house.When you have both assemble them together.
