So Correct me if I am wrong. I Lower purchased prior to 10/1/2013 was considered a firearm, due to the 4473 and the 77R you filed out. So all rules/laws before 10/1/2013 apply to that firearm! The proof is the 77R. There may be a problem with the long guns purchase before 10/1/2013 because the state never registered a 77R on those particular firearms. IMO
Nobody is denying that it is a firearm. It is very clearly a firearm. The issue with a stripped lower is what type of firearm does it represent. The law now restricts certain named firearms. There is an exemption if you owned/purchased those named firearms before the cutoff date. You may be correct that it is exempt, but a more strict interpretation would require that the stripped lower actually be turned into in one of the named firearm configurations. There is no clear answer, understand the differences and accept what ever risk you would like.
