Are you challenging your own statement?

On a more serious note, that's an interesting point on needing to be a complete rifle purchase if under 21. Isn't there a section on the 4473 where the FFL needs to select rifle, pistol, etc. when selling a lower? If "rifle" is selected, shouldn't that suffice? AFAIK, if I bought a stripped lower and the shop sold it as a "rifle", I can't put a short barrel on it; even with a pistol tube. Stupid...yes. But, if that check mark on the 4473 is really all that matters, a rifle is a rifle. Complete or not.
Outside of the bad joke I led with, I'm genuinely interested to know what law/statute/regulation would bar a person over 18, but under 21, from buying any firearm the ATF would consider a rifle.
