View Full Version : Quick question regarding AR lower sales
As the title indicates, I finally have a brief question. :D
Is there anything I need to do in order to sell a stripped AR-15 lower receiver to another individual? Would it count as a personal sale wherein no FFL need be bothered, or should I go through an FFL 'just in case'?
Thanks.

As far as federal law is concerned a FFL would not be required as long as you sold it to an eligible person that resides in the same state you do.
Then the FFL would only come into play if he/we insisted on it, or if I sold it to someone out of state?

I sold off a Spikes lower to a co-woker last year and to cover both of us I did up a "Bill of Sale" to show where the lower went. If the BATF/ local cops come to me because the lower was used in a crime then I'll show them the BOS. It's got the guy's name and D/L # on it.
.
i don't even do bills-of-sale anymore. people like being able to have no paper trail leading to them and guns, so why the hell not let them have that?
That's ironic, because it's my Spikes Tactical lower I want to sell. :D
Thanks for your help guys. Time to make my first post in the Equipment Exchange.

Over the last 20 + years I would not even be able to guess how many guns I've bought and sold. I've never bought them with the intent to resale. I just always`wanted something else. Even if the feds came to me and said one I had purchased was used in a crime I couldn't do or say anything other than I bought it, and either later traded it or sold it to buy something else. Nothing illegal, immoral, or unethical.

Unless it's someone who I know and trust, I also do a Bill of Sale in two copies (one for me and one for the buyer). If someone I do not know refuses to sign it, then the deal is off.
This is purely a CYA move. I'd like to be able to tell an Investigator who I sold the gun to just in case it's used in the commission of a crime.

Question has been answered.
I am closing this down before it gets silly.
One small point. If you buy a stripped lower from a dealer you must be 21 not 18 (as it is not yet a rifle/ long gun) and you cannot buy stripped lowers out of state as far as I know unless you go through an FFL. Whether this applies in this situation, I am not entirely sure.
