Firearm law question
A friend of mine has a glock 19 built on a 80% lower and he want to sell it to me. At this time I am not kin on going to the dealers and wait for hours to get in and then probably been told that they don't do private transfers at this time. Since the gun does not have a serial number and it has not been register through a dealer can a private transaction be done just like with long guns?
I don't want to get in trouble and I don't want him to get in trouble but he suggested that most likely it would be ok and he wont have a problem with it. We are also neighbors so there will not be travelling involved and that is really what it appeals to me at this time.
What you guys think? I have no idea about this 80% guns. Also any problems that I should be looking for? I know he has been firing it at the range and he told me everything works as it should.
Thanks for the help.E FLUCTIBUS IRRUIT IN HOSTEM. AECIDAE TELO IACET LIBATIS.

No.
You can't even have it transferred as far as I'm aware without a serial number. The 80% kits are meant for personal use only.

Re: Firearm law question
I though that it would not be allowed but what he said make sense. No serial number no tracking. Now that I know it is illegal I will wait for the right time to purchase the gun.( When the shops are fully opened again). However how would they track who purchased the lower and who made it into a functional gun?

But I don't have one. And the bold line would only apply to me if I did owned one. It is just a curiosity how would they be able to enforce it?

Re: Firearm law question
It's been a long time since this topic has been discussed, and I don't recall the exact details, but you CAN sell it - you aren't "stuck with it for life".
As already mentioned, I think it needs to have a number assigned/engraved - but I'm not certain of the specifics.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Firearm law question
OK he needs to mark it IAW ATF guidelines inc how deep the makings need to be - SN, maker name, city made. Then it can be transferred like any other handgun.
