I have transferred many AR lower receivers to customers without the need for them having a HQL. I recently sent 2 applications to the MSP Portal, one for 4 Glock frames and one for a single Glock frame. One was "Not Disapproved" and one was returned to the customer saying he needed an HQL. I chatted with the MSP and discussed the 5-101 definition of a firearm (they both are), and that of a handgun (they are not, as they lack a barrel under 16"). The MSP stated that AR lower receivers do not need a HQL even though they can be built into pistols, but that frames of handguns DO need an HQL. They stated that "The ruling by the AG was that absent specific language in the law, the intention is to build these frames into handguns." So if you want a Glock frame to incorporate into a MechTech Carbine Conversion Kit to build a long gun, it seems to need a HQL. I suggested to the MSP that they issue and Advisory to clarify. Does anyone have any information on the AG ruling they referred to?
