    I agree. If I can buy a whole rifle and walk out the door with it, pop off the upper and put on a pistol upper*...wait, do I have to wait 7 days before I do that? Nope. So why do I wait for a lower?

    Where is the official MSP doctrine on lower sales? I haven't ever seen what the MSP issued in order to come up with this rule, although I bet it was a shifty document issued in 2013 during the SB281 craze.

    * Changing a rifle to a pistol is explicitly BATFE illegal unless the lower was in a pistol configuration before it was a rifle. So the above example is federally illegal but feasible in practice.

    So committing a Federal felony is better than a 7 day wait????????

    REALLY????

    And no, it was not issued in 2013, because when FSA 2013 went into effect, MSP said all stripped lower sales were illegal. It was not until summer 2014 that they allowed stripped lower sales (I don't remember, but it may have been due to a law suit). And when they allowed stripped lower sales, they stated that they needed to be sold as regulated.

    And FFLs complied. IIRC, there is another lawsuit to have them sold as C&C.
