AR15 lower wanted
I am after an AR15 lower, not fussed about the make or condition too much as it is only to test something.
Anyone?

Re: AR15 lower wanted
Is the lower not the serial numbered part?
Re: AR15 lower wanted
It well have a serial number but that doesn't necessarily make it controlled. equally, the inverse isn't always true - I have a number of moderators that aren't serial no'd but they're still controlled.safetyfirst wrote:Is the lower not the serial numbered part?

Go buy an old spec de-act. and see how controlled the lower is on that.

Re: AR15 lower wanted
I tried to argue that with my FLD when i wanted a new lower for an AR (as well as asking them to point to me which piece of legislation/guidance says lowers are licensable) and got no where. I either had to get the spare lower entered on my ticket or i wasn't getting itMattnall wrote:Go buy an old spec de-act. and see how controlled the lower is on that.

Re: AR15 lower wanted
i thought as a non-load bearing part they were not licensed... Oddly, as I presume you already know, they are the only recorded part in the states...Blackstuff wrote:I tried to argue that with my FLD when i wanted a new lower for an AR (as well as asking them to point to me which piece of legislation/guidance says lowers are licensable) and got no where.

Re: AR15 lower wanted
Indeed. The best they could come up with was "they've got the serial number on so have to be entered on your FAC"
I've since sold that AR and the buyer only wanted the newer lower, so the gun he bought had two different serial no's on. Further, as soon as i'd notified them of the sale, Durham then rang me and told me i no longer had a good reason to possess the original lower so i had to lodge it in an RFD, where it sat for a good 3 years or so until i eventually sold it.
