    BGOS. An upper in any state is not a firearm. An incomplete 80% lower is not one either. I bought a PSA rifle kit with standard barrel and swapped the barrel for a $75 HBAR before mating it to a completed lower. Nothing illegal about any point in that sequence.

    Not worth the risk. If you don't own a pre-2013 lower. Don't buy a skinny barrel upper and have it with your post Fsa2013 lower.

    Constructive intent means the DA can decide it is illegal. If you have a firearm part with no legal way to be added to or built as part of a firearm, then you could be charged. Are the odds high? Hell no. Parts are pretty common and not all that expensive. So yes, a personal choice I am making to stay well within the letter of the law.

    Police/DA would have to find out about it and then they’d need to decide if they were having a bad day/didn’t like you. Then they’d need to decide if they might have a chance of making charges stick and a jury and judge to buy the charges.
