Purchasing a Glock Frame/Question?

[97F1504RAD]

I would like to purchase a Complete Glock frame and since this is the serialized portion of the gun is it OK to purchase? How does the Roster apply to this? The roster does not list just frames as far as I know so is this possible?

glock frame

Roster still applies since it's still considered a "handgun" upon DROS. If it's a Glock frame that is already on the roster it should be fine (you might need to supply an upper so there is a complete handgun though). If the frame is not for a gun on the roster (like timberwolf frame) then you would need to SSE or be a LEO (I had to supply an upper to complete the gun).

Perfect thanks

Won't work.

No 'just frames' are on the Roster, only complete guns.

You would have to be exempt from the Roster yourself to buy just a frame, unless some private individual would want to sell one - PPT is exempt from the Roster.

So your saying that if I had the frame of a G17 sent to a local FFL and then attached my G17 slide and barrel it could not be DROS'd as a complete G17 pistol?

That would be my guess; might inquire of an FFL how he logs in 'just a frame', but a frame has not passed the tests, so is not likely to be considered a handgun on the Roster.
