Quote History Quoted:
NICS is only told the type of firearm. Long-gun, Hand-gun, or Other (this is where a receiver falls in) So if a FFL calls in the check and tells them other, that's all they know.
The serial number and what it actaully is never leaves the FFL unless requested by ATF for a trace due to a crime.

So, If I purchase a stripped lower are the Cuomo thugs going to get flagged after my NICS check?

Additionally, dealers cannot be "compelled" to allow the State to review their Federal Bound Book without Warrant, most will let LEO review them.
Someone fishing through the books would have to know what they were looking for. Traces iniatiated by BATFE start at the manufacturere, then to the Distributor/Wholesaler (unless shipped direct to the Dealer) then the FFL has to dig through their Bound Book and/or 4473's.
I'm thinking the State hasn't the time, manpower, or inclination to search every FFL's books looking for receivers unless its specific to an investigation.
