Re: Private FFL transfers?
That guy I would avoid. The kitchen table guys I*ve used were competent. This guy isn*t.

Re: Private FFL transfers?
I don't think I should need to prove myself, but what documentation do I have to demonstrate to this gentleman that he can transfer the receivers at "other", opposed to a handgun or long gun. I went over his text again and he explains that building an AR Pistol requires state registration, and if I don't it becomes an NFA item? Which would make sense if I bought an AR Pistol in that form. But I bought virgin stripped 10/22 receivers that I may or may not build as a rifle or pistol. FFL is thinking if I build it into a pistol, he/the FFL needs to transfer me as such. At least if he transfers it as a pistol, I can build it as a rifle down the road.
But I am kind lost with my next step with the guy. I am trying to figure out a polite way of saying I want him to ship my receivers to another FFL. Pay my transfer fees and pay this guy to send my receivers to my preferred FFL? Just take them as pistols if he doesn't budge? The FFL Transfer fee doesn't change based on the type of firearm.

Oh shit. I couldn't tell from your OP, but did you already purchase and choose him as the receiving FFL?
I was going to say pick someone else, but it sounds like that's too late.
Re: Private FFL transfers?
Unfortunately, the receivers are already in his possession at this point. I didn't realize this was going to be an issue as I assumed it was common knowledge the new stripped receivers are classified as "other". It specifically says it on the 4473! I didn't think to ensure this fact FFL knew prior to ordering. But given this experience, I'll try to stick with my usual FFL, even though it is a drive to get there.

Found it! Thanks for the letter!

I sent the guy the document. I gave him options, but I told him I want the receivers sold to me as "other". But of course its still going to look like I am just saying it to get my way. I can't prove that built AR pistols doesn't need registration with the state. etc.
I offered 3 options that would make both parties satisfied at this point since he doesn't seem to know the specifics or what is just "passed down information":
Pay his transfer fee and shipping to another FFL (Tanner's)
Meet him at another FFL (Tanner's), Pay fees for both, and have Tanner's explain to this guy why the receiver is always "other" and why building a pistol after the sale doesn't require registration or filing for an NFA Form1. Or maybe Tanner's will end up schooling me.
Have him return the receivers to Brownell's and let me start over again picking a different FFL.
