Not gonna lie, I'll be plagiarizing that line.When has a serial number ever prevented a murder? At best they are the forensic equivalent of chalk outlines... only somewhat useful after the fact.
As I recalled (correctly), you can buy/build from an 80% "thing" as long as the area for the FCU is not machined, and you don't buy any parts or jigs with the 80% "thing".Here's the ATF clarification letter.
Here's a link to the bill as signed: https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2023R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/HB2005Are there any firearm assemblies that require more than one part be serialized under HB2005?
For example if I use an 80% blank (still in 80% configuration) as a forward grip on my AR15, would it have to be serialized as well as the AR lower?
Example 2: My upper only firearm would likely require a serial number if used by itself to fire a cartridge. What if I attach it to a serialized lower, would the upper still require serialization?
yeah I dont care what Kotek thinks,,,.
I guess what It boils down to is that, I will have to incorporate a serialized frame or receiver into all of my future homemade firearms.Here's a link to the bill as signed: https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2023R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/HB2005
For your first example, it's still an unfinished receiver, so will need to have an ATF compliant serial number no matter what you attached it to. For your second example, I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.
Pretty much, yes... either by paying for a specific FFL to serialize your unserialized lowers, or buying stripped serialized lowers (Anderson, PSA/H&R, Aero, etc) through FFLs.I guess what It boils down to is that, I will have to incorporate a serialized frame or receiver into all of my future homemade firearms.
I new there was a reason I bought so many lowers. I might have to buy a few more 5 packs on the next kygunco sale, just to be safe.Pretty much, yes... either by paying for a specific FFL to serialize your unserialized lowers, or buying stripped serialized lowers (Anderson, PSA/H&R, Aero, etc) through FFLs.
You do you. Just be aware that the people listed in the bill for who can serialize the "unfinished " frames or receivers also has to keep records and contact OSP. There's also a section that says cannot "import" unfinished frame or receiver unless it's to a FFL to transfer with serial numbers and recordsI new there was a reason I bought so many lowers. I might have to buy a few more 5 packs on the next kygunco sale, just to be safe.
There's also "a person may not knowingly possess a firearm unless the firearm has been imprinted with a serial number by a FFL manufacturer, importer, or dealer, or a gunsmith with a FFL in accordance to Federal law". It does not apply to "Antique firearms", " firearms manufactured prior to October 22, 1968", "permanently inoperable firearms".It looks like to me if the gun is already finished then it dose not have to be serialized. They keep referring to unfinished frames or am I missing something ?
I guess I skipped over that part. But the funny part is federal law dose not prohibit you from making your own gun and not serializing it. https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/homemade-guns-are-they-legal-must-they-be-registered.There's also "a person may not knowingly possess a firearm unless the firearm has been imprinted with a serial number by a FFL manufacturer, importer, or dealer, or a gunsmith with a FFL in accordance to Federal law".

Edit this is Section 4.
