Can I buy an AR upper online and have it shipped to me, or must I go through an FFL? Provived of course that barrel is 16+ in.
If not, which AR parts may I purchase online and shipped to me directly? Thanks much.
Be careful also of being in constructive posession of a non-complaint AR if you get a nasty upper and have a lower that is post ban.
This is one of the great myths. Nobody is ever prosecuted for anything like this.
I found a deal on a LMT 10.5" upper while I was waiting 4 months for my form 1 to come back from the ATF.
I bought the upper anyway. Nobody cares.
Having a 10.5 upper and no stamp or pistol for it can get you in deep with the ATF as they would be FEDERAL charges. And yes the ATF does prosecute this. There was a story recently with a FFL who had a short barrel at his shop with the rifle it was going to go on the original plus 16 barrel was still on it and the ATF took the barrel.
Is it a givin you will get into trouble? Nope
Is it a possibility? YES
Is it worth the risk? We all have to address that for ourselves.
Citation?
We're also were not talking about a gun shop, which is subject to random, unannounced compliance inspections.
We were talking about private citizens with (some little piece of their) 4th Amendment rights.
Tell me. What is the probability that your house will be raided by ATF agents during a brief 3 or 4 month period while you are waiting for a Form 1 to come back? What is the chance that they will care about a SBR upper and a lower in the same residence?
The ATF does not care about individuals for the most part. They care about licensees. Time to take off your tinfoil hat.
Yes.I buy a post ban lower stripped on a gun shop last week here in Mass. Can I buy all the other parts online and build a 16" ar without get in trouble?
I'm new on this
Neither will Aero PrecisionYou can buy a complete upper, and have it shipped to your house, from everyone except PSA. Those bastards won't ship here.
YesDo I have to register the rifle after complete it ?
You do have to EFA10 it once you attach the upper to the lower. From MA law's point of view you have just "manufactured" a firearm and that event must be reported via an EFA10, same as a purchase. Note that MA gov claims that this is not "registering" the firearm, their claim is that it is reporting a transaction.Do I have to register the rifle after complete it ?
"have to"... it's not like they'll know WHEN you attached the top, don't they say you have like 10 days or some shit to efa10 it after "manufacturing" it?You do have to EFA10 it once you attach the upper to the lower.

Technically it's within 7 days of the firearm being capable of firing a shot or bullet. That would be when you attach the upper to a lower (and only you know when you've done that)."have to"... it's not like they'll know WHEN you attached the top, don't they say you have like 10 days or some shit to efa10 it after "manufacturing" it?
