AR15 build legality?

[JT2]

Seems like the under 21 person needs to have a hunting license and fsc.

Your father can get a stripped lower with an fsc and no hunting license.

im the one that under 21, i already have a hunting license, so i just need my fsc and i could legally buy a stripped lower or get one ppt to me?

With your hunting license, you should be able to buy a complete ar15....I think.

it now illegal to buy a semiauto center fire rifles if ur under 21 now so i would have to find one that already altered, but i think itll be much cheaper to build and alter it myself

Get a hunting license and then buy or build. Forget 80% which is doable just not worth the effort. San Diego wrong on 80% builds.

Yea, the 80% is last on my list, I already have a hunting license and when i went to buy a stripped lower, the ffl told me i had to be 21 to buy it

Pain in the as5. First get number from doj then machine then send pics then assemble then send pics then get approval which takes 1 year and then have an ar you can never sell in Ca. I have 6 AR & 1911 completed and registered prior to moratorium. No fun anymore.

yea i was hoping there was other options

Federal laws prohibits a FFL from transferring a firearm, that is not a Title 1 Rifle or Title 1 Shotgun, to a person under the age of 21. [18 USC 922(b)(1)]
^These laws prohibits a person under 21 from legally acquiring a receiver from a FFL.

I believe as of 1/1/2019 you have to be 21 to purchase any gun, including long guns, but if you have a hunting license you can buy long guns.

The valid CA hunting license does not provide an exemption to a person age 18-20 to legally acquire a semi-auto centerfire rifle.
^It only provides an exemption for manually operated centerfire rifles, single-shot centerfire rifles, rimfire rifles, and shotguns.

Don't buy anything right now. You'll get shafted by the greedy weasels. Just wait until the panic slows down. If it ever does.

I agree.

OP save your money right now.

Thank you for the information, apologies for posting incorrect information.

I might have posted in haste. I think if you have a hunting license you can get one once you are 18. I will defer to the multitude of people who know more than me.

ik it sounds like a pain but im thinking it might be my best option if i dont want to involve anyone else to finish my build. lets say i go thru with it, after obtaining a serial number from the doj and putting it onto the lower and sending proof that i did, can i hang onto the lower for however long until i want to start milling it, or do i have to immediately start milling and finishing the rifle? Also if i finish building the rifle and i sent off the final pics of it completed can i still shoot it at the range in the mean time until they get it approved or will i be stuck with a rifle i cant shoot for a year?

Forgive me if I am missing something, but if you have a hunting license can't you buy a lower? If so, you can get one from PSA for 40-50 bucks. I don't think there is an age differentiation between stripped lowers and 80% lowers.

I thought i could buy a stripped lower to but my ffl told me i cant buy a stripped lower with a hunting license if im under 21, im assuming it legal for me according to earlier replies from others that another option would be to go with the 80% lower

[Oceanbob]

I remember the old days back in 2013 (before long gun registration) when I
gave my young kids several rifles that I built. Also when I picked up a handgun I would add a couple of striped lowers to the order. No wait required.

My kids are now adults and they still have the rifles I built them when they were
very young. There is no mandatory long gun registration law. These days? Yes when buying.

Get yourself a good Lever gun and enjoy that.

[Jimi Jah]

Yeah, what's the point? I can buy order a lower from PSA for $40 and it will probably be better than an 80% I drilled out myself.

Plus you can get a goofy logo on it too.
