    purchasing a short barreled upper

    Please refer me to a thread if this has been covered. I am currently waiting for a transfer for a registered Colt A2. I am wanting to purchase a 10.5 inch upper. Can I buy it and keep it uninstalled while I wait for the transfer? I do have several AR15 at home. Am I beraking any laws? Please be easy on my guys. Options would be: keeping either ARs or sbu in my neighbors safe i.e. stored seperate, or ship the upper to my class 3 (200 miles away) or keeping all at home and NEVER putting it on a reciever till my transfer is approved.

    You can keep the short upper at home but then you have to consider what a possible as***** ATF agent considers intent. You may have no "intent" at all to install it on a non-registered receiver, but the ATF agent may think otherwise. All that matters is what the ATF agent thinks is your intent, not what your intent is.

    If you want to be sure you're in the clear, keep it at your friends, as long as he doesn't own an AR.

    Gunz- Smart a**! Your job gets you special privileges. How many full-autos laying around today? Do you have intent? H*** Yeah! But that comes with your job.

    Please let me know the location of this fence and what time you plan on throwing it.

    The intent goofballs will be all over this!

    AZCOP on arfcom says you'd best not own any ink pens. That is intent for FORGERY!

    It actually has to be a block wall that you can't climb over. Otherwise the intent rules still apply!

    And you have to keep your ladder at a neighbors house. Because intent dictates that you plan to use the ladder to retrieve the upper and build an illegal weapon. It's pretty obvious when you think about it.

    In fact. If you own a credit card, that can be intent to buy a short barrel, which is intent for an illegal build.

    In fact.... suicide is the only way to avoid intent prosecutions and club fed/bubba. Just don't kill yourself with an illegal short barrel. Because ATF has offices in hell too!
