Except the receiver/frame is the part that is FFL regulated and treated the same as an assembled gun from a sales/regulation standpoint - so they are not in fact “Ghost Guns”
But my point still stands - the cost and obtainability of real guns to people that would misuse them obviates the need to manufacture their own
- maxerickson 5y ago"80% recievers" aren't regulated, so there's no paperwork when they are sold and then finished by the buyer. Of course they would be subject to regulation once finished, but there's not any record of the firearm.
- giantg2 5y agoI agree, but just want to point out that they aren't required to be finished. If you do any work to it at all (81%+ complete), then they are considered a firearm. I know it sounds like I'm being pedantic, but I wouldn't want anyone to get into serious trouble if they read this didn't understand the difference.
- giantg2 5y ago"Except the receiver/frame is the part that is FFL regulated and treated the same as an assembled gun from a sales/regulation standpoint - so they are not in fact 'Ghost Guns'”. I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to - the 80% receivers/kits? Those do not have serial numbers and are not considered firearms until you make them 81%+.
