bk09:
Hey guys I'm looking at ordering a TC Encore Rifle Frame from Buds. I ran into an issue when I ordered an AR15 stripped lower a couple months ago when I went to pick it up. I am only 20 so I discovered I wasn't old enough to have the lower when I went to the FFL (acher arms, who didn't know the law on this either, not going there again). Will I run into this problem with a TC RIFLE frame? From all the research I have done it seems the rifle stock on it classifies it as a rifle since I can't put a short barrel on it without making it a NFA weapon. Thanks in advance!

gsd:
I was unaware of the law prohibiting someone under the age of 21 from owning a stripped lower...hmm.

I doubt buying a rifle will cause you any issues, but i'ld check with your local LEOs to make sure.

Mudinyeri:
A stripped receiver is an "Other Firearm" since it may be built into either a long gun or handgun.  As such it cannot be sold to an individual under the age of 21.  Other "Other Firearms" include pistol grip-only shotguns and things like semi-auto clones of belt-fed, non-shoulder-fired guns like a M1919.

I don't know enough about the Thompson Center frames to say whether or not they qualify at "Other Firearms".  Perhaps one of our resident FFL's can help clarify.

David Hineline:
Should have no problem buying a receiver with a stock attatched since it is already a rifle.

You can own a stripped lower or a pistol or a pistol gripped shotgun, you just can't buy them from a dealer till you are 21.

You can manuf. your own NFA when you are 18

Dan W:
You should be able to legally purchase an AR15 complete lower that has a stock installed. That would remove any issue with selling a "handgun" to an otherwise legal 20 year old, as a stocked AR15 lower can never be made into a  legal AR pistol
