80% Lowers.

[338Shooter]

Individuals manufacturing sporting-type firearms for their own use need not hold Federal Firearms Licenses (FFLs). However, we suggest that the manufacturer at least identify the firearm with a serial number as a safeguard in the event that the firearm is lost or stolen. Also, the firearm should be identified as required in 27 CFR 478.92 if it is sold or otherwise lawfully transferred in the future.

Then how come I have to a 4473 everytime I buy one?

Because a lower is a serialized part.

OKC Field Office Phone Number is 405.297.5073.

Think you got that backwards.

I'm pretty sure that I am correct.

 

[338Shooter]

I'm pretty sure I agree with S4F on who is correct.

Are you hanging up on """Bottom line is yes you can legaly make an 80% into a legal gun""" ? Im thinking that you are miss reading my post. I know an 80% is a paper wieght. Once it is a legal gun as in 100% is what I am talking about afterwards. Are you still reading it as an 80% reiever?

For those who think that a filling out a 4473 is registering a firearm, it's not. Here is a step by step of the process that an FFL goes through.

Step 1. Receive gun
Step 2. Log gun into A&D book
Step 3. Sell gun
Step 4. Buyer fills out 4473
Step 5. FFL calls info into NICS for approval before recording firearm data on 4473
Step 6. If approved buyer pays for gun and leaves with gun
Step 7. FFL records gun inventory number & s/n on 4473
Step 8. FFL logs gun out of A&D book.
Step 9. FFL files 4473
Step 10. Retain 4473 for 20 years

As you can see, the firearm info never left the shop. To track a firearm the popo has to start with the manufacturer and follow the gun through it's logistical route to the buyer...the info is not in a database somewhere and the process is rather labor intensive.

I think this is what you need to know.

No. The law is you can't make it into a firearm with intent to sell it. It does not say that you can never sell it and it has to transfer to a family member when you die.

That is some crap some people pulled out of their butts and started posting it all over the internet. It's wrong. Call the OKC field office, please.

I believe he is saying you are incorrect about not being able to sell the firearm once it's finished. He's saying you can sell it if you choose to do so down the road, but you cannot specifically build one with the intention to sell it.

In which he's stating what I have been told aswell by another FFL. Forget the links that have been posted from the ATF.




Edit.... Too late.
