    Default LCP frame without SN off Ebay legal?

    This is the first I've seen a pistol frame sell without an FFL. Seller claiming it's legal and does not appear to have a SN...any idea if that's true? Would think it creates an easy opportunity to rebuild off the books (disregarding cost). Not buying and not advocating someone buys it, just a hypothetical/'never seen this before'.

    From the images it looks like the trigger group may be the serialized part, the grip is just a grip

    On those there is a window cut in the left side of the frame, like a SIG P320. You can buy different frame styles and colors.

    I thought they had a small metal tag for the SN, but I'm surprised that the frame itself would be considered separate from such a small part.

    Serialized part is the trigger group.

    See this at ~4:00 in this vid.

    The poly frame of an lcp is not the serialized firearm, the chassis is.

    Huh, that's a unique approach, but guess it works. Learned something new! Thanks all

    Same on a Beretta Neos 22. I swapped out the frame cheap, because it had a crack. The action has the SN.

    I just took my LC9S apart a few days ago and the serial number is on the fire control group, not the frame. So assuming that the LCP is the same way, you should be fine. Now, as far as the buyer not scamming you somehow or taking a month to ship it, you're gambling. I fuckin' hate Ebay haha.

    Curious why Ruger designed the guns this way but never released different color, size, texture, etc frames.

    The same type of design used by Beretta on the Nano and Pico.
