If a person defines a receiver or frame as the following:
'Frame or receiver' means the part of a firearm that provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechlock and firing mechanism and that is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel.
Not counting the last part which says usually threaded.....
It states that a receiver is the part that has three items, hammer, bolt or breechlock and firing mechanism. The AR lower receiver does not contain a breechlock or bolt so wouldn't that make it something other then a receiver based on this definition?
@tiggers97 this is the same language we were discussing today but after rereading it with fresh eyes I came up with the above question.
