    Default AR15 pistol receiver

    Can I legally build a pistol from a stripped ar15 receiver, or do I have to physically go to a ffl,
    and register it.

    1. There is no registry in PA.

    2. If the receiver has never been assembled as a rifle, or was first assembled as a pistol, it may be assembled as a pistol.

    3. There is no registry in PA.

    4. Don't put a stock on it.

    5. There is no registry in PA.

    Feel free to listen to answers from others, remembering that they are worth what you paid.

    For now.

    Do it quickly, along with an FRT trigger.

    So you can build a Polymer 80 glock pistol. As long as you keep it (more or less). Building an ar15 pistol polymer 80 should be the same if I'm correct??

    I did an ar pistol and told the FFL is was for a pistol lower. Played it safe.

    This one has everything.

    Yes. Build away!
    It's not a pistol until you assemble it as one.

    No ffl required.
    I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

    Question: My magwell adapter supposedly takes uzi "style" mags, well my uzi mags dont work,
    due to a missing slot cut out in the mag.
    Have any of you ever cut a slot in a mag so the magazine catch works with the mag?
    I have 4 25rnd mags that need slots cut out, but if it wont work I dont want to waste my time and ruin ,
    the mags. Thanks.
