I have an AR-15 (non-HBAR) that I purchased legally prior to 1 OCT 2013. I have an office buddy who would like to buy it, either with the barrel removed (just the lower) or I may actually purchase an HBAR barrel and install it for him and sell the entire rifle. I know if I sell him the lower only, we must go through an FFL or MSP and do a regulated transfer. However, if I convert the rifle to an HBAR, do we still have to formally transfer the rifle, or does it become cash-and-carry? NOTE: We are both MD residents, and my buddy has his HQL and recently passed a background check for a handgun purchase, so I know he can legally buy the gun.
