Q: I was told by our local ATF office that as long as an AR15 lower receiver (upper/barrel not included in the sale) is sold without an upper it should be listed as a receiver on the 4473. The ATF does not care if the lower is in rifle or pistol form. It is still just a receiver. I wanted to verify that information with you. So my question is whether, if that is the case, it is not legal to sell a lower receiver that has a butt stock installed, to an out of state resident. If the ATF does not consider a lower with a butt stock a lower, but a receiver then a lower cannot be sold to an AZ resident in the store. It has to be transferred to a dealer in AZ. I just need verification on that.
