Under federal law, a licensee may only transfer long guns (rifles and shotguns) to persons over 18. All other firearms, including "Other" (frames and receivers) may only be transferred to those 21+.

You could transfer it through an 07FLL (like engage) and bring them your barrel & stock, have them assemble it (not final, but just a quickie) and sell it to you as a complete rifle?

Correct. A manufacturing (07) FFL could build the receiver into a rifle and sell it to you as a Rifle if you are under 21.

It's not that it's illegal to possess for you (someone under 21) it's that it's illegal for a licensee to transfer to you.

Silly Wabbit, that's not a stripped 10/22 reciever, that's a stripped Charger reciever.

After we stop laughing, for the shop fee you would pay to an 007 to assemble a stack of 10/22 parts onto a stripped reciever , just buy a dadgum complete rifle, and either resell , keep for future projects, or throw away the rifle-like parts you don't care to make use of for current project.

Didn't you actually make the purchase for your dad, so that he can have a spare receiver? I'm pretty sure we were talking about you being a great son and doing this for your dad. All you need to do is have your dad go to the shop and complete the paperwork so he may have his spare receiver that you purchased for him.

Good Luck!

KIDD rifles start at $1000. Thats an awful expensive way to get a receiver.

just have your dad go down and have it transferred to him.

So he needs an HQL too? :lol2:

OP, also please don't think along the lines of getting someone else to purchase the receiver, build the 10/22, and then transfer it to you. According to the latest SCOTUS ruling that could be considered a straw purchase, as the person filling out the initial form intended it to be transferred to you. Send it off to a nice FFL07 manufacturer, get a nice parts kit, and have fun with your 10/22. The little extra shipping and building fees is not worth a potential federal crime.

Straw purchase is defined as buying with the intent to transfer to a prohibited person. http://smartgunlaws.org/straw-purchases-policy-summary/

A straw purchase is any purchase where you answer the "actual purchaser" question untruthfully. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether the second person is prohibited or not.

How about buying as a gift?

j_h_smith · Jan 5, 2015

You can buy this for a family member as a gift. As I stated in my post above. This is perfectly legal. The father would have to fill out the forms. No straw purchase there.

Ok let me clear everything up. I bought my dad a factory Ruger 10/22 rifle for christmas. $250 and I walked out the door with it. Now, I want to build my own 10/22 for myself, so I bought a kidd 10/22 reciever and was having trouble with the transfer (because i'm 19). Everything was cleared up at the gunshop and now I have my Kidd reciever.

Glad you got it all worked out.
Now you are obligated to post pictures of the progress of your build.

I'm interested to know how they worked that out and you ended up with the receiver.

Glad you were able to pick up the receiver. I'd also like to see your build thread so please create one.

rseymorejr · Jan 5, 2015

Oh, by the way. I don't much care for your screen name!
:lol2:

Nate is correct.

This is not kosher. Its not a rifle per the pictures thus it was transferred as an "other" receiver (buyer MUST be 21 or older)to someone prohibited or it was transferred via straw purchase.
