No. Not if it’s legal to sell.
Yes. We can sell private without the need of an FFL.
Can you buy stripped lowers and have them marked as "other"?

The way it’s being told to me? No. Any lower that is not fixed mag or pre ban will make a person guilty of constructive possession of AW components, even though you can legally own a new build “other” AR. Makes no sense right?
Basically, the state hates that the “other” construction effectively negates the AWB. So they’ve essentially made it so only FFL-07’s can build them in any manner they will recognize. Or at least that is how it’s being conveyed to me.
Again, just wondered how they handle private builds in free states.
So what does your states "other" AR's look like?16" build without a buffer tube assembly?

I posted these earlier. An AR “other” is.....
OAL > 26 inches = not an AOW.
Barrel > 12 inches and permanent VFG = not a pistol.
No Stock = not a rifle.
Most are rocking 12.5 barrels and either SB braces or KAK Shockwaves to get OAL over 26. Here is one a person spiffed up.

My bad, that's right, forgot you posted them. Have you tried calling a quality company to see if they will build and sell you a set up like this?
its a feature, not a bug. If the law is super murky, it lets the ATF 'interpret' things in whatever way is politically expedient.Lol, Just to finish off my experience with a discussion I was having with a local LGS owner. All I can say is that interpretation of the AW laws are about as clear as mud between competing stores.
And they try to sell you on all the tacticool airsoft crap from the likes of NCStar and Leapers/UTG (seriously, they're airsoft companies).weird. in pa, most of the gun shops seem to only hire mall ninjas who don't really know shit.
we will handle any transfer for a small fee of 40 bucks
The Shockwave Blade is a decent stock too (the ATF said it's legal to shoulder a pistol brace).View attachment 399229

Yes, though its not as common as you'd think. I'd say the PRIMARY 'red flag' we get are attempts at straw purchases. Some of the tells to that are guys who've never been to the store specifically asking to buy a firearm they didnt even inquire to us having or asking to view it first. Thats a big tip off because who drops 600+ bills on a gun they dont even bother to hold and inspect? They generally arent interested in accessories and rarely will by ammo at the same time. They come in, almost exact cash, to buy a specific gun or guns, dont really exhibit a 'shoppers' attitude like small talk and the general face to face bullshitting that gun stores are known for. Lot of hispanic males fall into that category.Hey @Roaming East question I haven’t seen asked here
You ever get a person come into your store that wants to buy a gun that day, that something about them sets off red flags where you feel they're trying to get a gun to do something bad with it?
Has it ever happened? What do you do if it did?
Happy to oblige. Interesting thing of note: We've seen a surge in warranty/repair work on guns, mostly pistols, exhibiting extensive wear or outright cracked frames or other such damage. Normally will get half a dozen or so per quarter but ive sent off as of today, 32 guns this period. Y'all be careful with those hand loads.What a great thread! Awesome insight into the world of gun sales, Roaming East.
I just got back on Sherdog after being away for years, and I love this "new" weapons sub-forum.
I'll be hanging around here quite a bit.
