Nice job!
In Washington, the state if it's filed as a pistol at the time of purchase.I don't get it? Who would know?
In Washington, the state if it's filed as a pistol at the time of purchase.
But not if it's a rifle or 'other';
It MUST be marked as "other" for a stripped lower. Yes it's legally a "firearm", but it's LEGALLY neither a pistol or rifle, hence it must be marked "other".
Thanks! Some relevant text from this excruciatingly complex document:All your answers are here... from the horse's arse:
2011-4 - Pistols Configured from Rifles; Rifles Configured from Pistols | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
...Although not defined in the NFA, the term "pistol" is defined by the Act's implementing regulations, 27 CFR 479.11, as "a weapon originally designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile (bullet) from one or more barrels when held in one hand, and having (a) a chamber(s) as an integral part(s) of, or permanently aligned with, the bore(s); and (b) a short stock designed to be gripped by one hand and at an angle to and extending below the line of the bore(s)" (emphasis added).
Therefore, so long as a parts kit or collection of parts is not used to make a firearm regulated under the NFA (e.g., a short -barreled rifle or "any other weapon" as defined by 26 U.S.C. 5845(e)), no NFA firearm is made when the same parts are assembled or reassembled in a configuration not regulated under the NFA ( e.g., a pistol, or a rifle with a barrel of 16 inches or more in length). Merely assembling and disassembling such a rifle does not result in the making of a new weapon; rather, it is the same rifle in a knockdown condition (i.e., complete as to all component parts). Likewise, because it is the same weapon when reconfigured as a pistol, no "weapon made from a rifle" subject to the NFA has been made.
Nonetheless, if a handgun or other weapon with an overall length of less than 26 inches, or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length is assembled or otherwise produced from a weapon originally assembled or produced only as a rifle, such a weapon is a "weapon made from a rifle" as defined by 26 U.S.C. 5845(a)(4). Such a weapon would not be a "pistol" because the weapon was not originally designed, made, and intended to fire a projectile by one hand.
With an 80% lower, is there any problem making it as a pistol since it is manufactured and never transferred?
