I tried to do a search but I could not find the answers. I regards to AR parts purchase. What parts are required FFL involvement and what are direct buyer seller purchase. Thanks in advance.

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
George Orwell -
The only regulated part is the lower receiver.Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

What they said, only the lower is considered the firearm. Everything else is just parts, the way I understand it.Originally posted by mykOriginally posted by MQUnlimitedComment

The stripped lower is the only thing you need to go thru an FFL to get. Everything else can be sent right to your door.
That said, your local FFL can be a good source of said parts. You should support your local FFL when possible. Without them, we can't get our lowers.LASD Retired

ditto on what all the posters said, it's the lower you'll need to FFL it, all other parts, barrel, upper, rais, mags, stock, they can be bought and sent to you directly,Be the change that you wish to see in the world.Mahatma Gandhi
