Short background: I have a complete 20" AR HBAR. Lets say I want to turn it into a 16" barreled carbine.
I see in a lot of ads for complete AR uppers (receiver and barrel assemblies) with the words "No FFL required", whereas lowers seem FFL restricted. The obvious implication being that its the lowers that are considered "the gun". Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.
That said, does anyone know if you can, in fact, simply order a complete upper and have it shipped to Mass with no FFL/dealer transfer or involvement? And if so, can I legally swap it onto a lower I already own or do I need to re-register the whole thing?
Any input or advice on things I am missing here would be appreciated.
As always,
Thanks
Steve
