If AR upper receivers are classified as firearm, where will prices go? New and used?

So the question is, do I buy about 10 uppers now when I don't really "need" to. I'm going to error on the side of not, but I'm really hoping I'm not kicking myself later

My question would be, will I be able to legally sell them later without involving FFL, if they decide they're "firearms"?

I's venture no unless the state allows private sale without FFL.

(also an infringement and unconstitutional)

Check and see if Aero's still running their sale on blems.

Wouldn't matter, even if I dropped $300 for each completed upper. $3000 for 10 uppers to sit unused isn't a responsible money use right now compared to my other obligations. I don't mind those blems though, mostly just cosmetic issues and I don't treat any of mine as scratch-less safe queens anyway.

If the new proposed definition of receiver and frame is put in the books what will happen to AR upper receiver prices. Currently they can be bought stripped for around $50 to $100. If a background check is required for them that would add $25 to $50 in fees. Do you think demand for them will drop off significantly? As finalization of the rule change gets closer do you think there will be a rush to purchase them?

"IF" - The most worrying word in the English language. The proposal is nonsensical - does not mean they won't try it. We have a strong court system, and thank God we do.

Or buy the upper that I am selling in the classified section…

Yes, of course, if you live in Idaho and you are selling to an Idaho resident. No need for FFL involvement if buyer and seller are Idaho residents. Even with FFL involvement there is no BG check if recipient is an Idaho resident with an Enhanced Idaho CWP. To me the 2A and Section 11 of Article I of the Idaho Constitution are scripture and Idaho is the promised land! No need to die to get to heaven!

In looking through this thread,
I have only noticed reference to future purchased weapons..not presently held ones.
Did I miss it somewhere ?

The inherent problem with that is the "can gets kicked farther down the road" with every generation.
