    Lower reciever transfer

    First post and just a quick question. I've been searching the net for hours trying to find the answer and can't really get a definative one. So I live in Pa. and my father lives in N.Y. can I gift him a lower receiver without getting an FFL involved? I'm assuming not but I'm not sure. He's been talking about building an AR and I have an extra lower that I've been sitting on and seeing Christmas is right around the corner I figure it would be the perfect gift. Thanks in advance

    You can gift it to him but he'll have to receive at an FFL in NY.

    Yes, if each is a resident of differing states.

    No, if both are residents of the same state.

    Once again- we don't advocate breaking the laws.

    I think the purpose of that law is to prevent transfer from a no-ban state to a ban state of an item that would be illegal in the latter. At least that is what the politicos would tell you. Of course the real reason is to get as many guns as possible "back on the books".

    The NICS system doesn't keep any info for more than 24 hours. Going through a background check and transfer is not the same as "registering" a firearm. The dealers are, however, required to keep transfer records for 20 years. Here in OH you don't have to register any firearm you own (NFA excluded).

    The evidence I have for this comes from local law enforcement experts on the talk radio show "shooting from the hip" The officer being interviewed had known people who have been denied a transfer because some ID conflict such John Doe Sr. or Jr. and John Doe III etc. Those people have run into the same conflict every time they've gone to have a firearm transferred. If the ATF kept registration info, why would the person be denied every time they went to buy a weapon, why wouldn't they be on record?

    I have a question regarding FFL transfers.

    I live in northeast FL. A friend of mine recently opened a small gun store in southeast GA. He told me he'd do the FFL transfer for an AR lower for $15 for me. Since a lower receiver is classified as "other" by the ATF (which I recently read in another thread), would I be able to take possession of an AR lower from my friend's store since I live in a different state?
