is it legal to buy a AR pistol complete lower??

[Quiet]

I wouldn't own a pistol upper without also owning a complete pistol. I think your asking for trouble.. NFA item.... Constructive possession .. Look it up

IMHO

If you own a AR rifle lower and possess a short barrel (pistol) AR upper, then this is constructive possession of a SBR. [PC 17170(e)]

Yes its possible but few shops are willing to do it. You're best buying a pistol upper now and when funds permit you then proceed to buy the complete lower. When it comes in you bring the upper and let them attach it and then DROS it.

Only do this if one of the following are true:

1) You already own an AR pistol, making it plausible the new upper is for your existing pistol
2) You DO NOT own an AR longgun lower or complete AR longgun, as having an AR pistol upper and only an AR longgun lower is constructive possession of an SBR under both federal and CA law even if never assembled as one
