My AR-15 problem

[CalZomb]

Alright, I'm new to this, sorry if this has been done before or if i'm in the wrong forum (don't think i am though). Anyways, for the past 3 months I have been planning to build a California legal AR-15. I have all the parts ready minus the mags, and stripped lower. I went into a local gun store to purchase the lower and i couldn't because of my age. (i completely forgot about the "possible" pistol configuration and felt embarrassed to say the least) since i'm not 21 yet, i just had to let it go.

Okay, so this is where my question comes in. I was wondering since i couldn't purchase it, because of the age situation, hypothetically speaking of course, if a friend/family member who is within the legal age, decided to purchase a lower receiver, build it into a rifle, then sell it to me as a rifle (which i can legally purchase rifles); is that considered illegal. Remember this is just a hypothetical question.

Any help with this hypothetical will be much appreciated.

Yea should be 100% legal as long as its a complete CA/Fed legal long rifle. It will cost you a extra $35 for dros into their name and then into yours tho.

It's legal, but be careful mentioning that plan to any FFLs. It will see off their "straw purchase" alarm.

Or you could just have your father or mother buy it, and give it to you I believe.
If not, just pay the $35 transfer fee, and wait your 10 days.
