Question about selling 80% lower/ AR pistol

[shooperman]

So I have an AR pistol that I built out of an 80% lower. It's a fun gun to have, but it's just not for me. My question is, what do I have to do to the lower to sell it? I know I have to engrave a serial number, but anything else? And, would it be a better idea to purchase a stripped pistol lower, and keep my 80%? Thanks.

im not a lawyer nor do i provide legal advice.
that said, many fear that the liability of selling said lower isnt worth the $.

You can't acquire a stripped pistol lower unless its a PPT. Even then its a gray area as to prove that the original owner acquired it as a "pistol" lower.


Sell the upper and part out the lower, or enjoy your pistol.

Thanks for the advice. But I still would like to know, what I would have to do to sell the pistol complete.

I believe in addition to a serial #, you need mftg name (you) and mftg address (city, state) listed and there is depth requirements for the engraving. I swear I saw a sticky somewhere on this stuff...,let me look.

Edit, here you go.

Register it to yourself as a pistol, the info in the post above mine, PPT it. Not sure if you have to put the 0 round mag in it or not to transfer it since it was originally built as an SSE.

Once it's registered to you as a pistol I don't see any problem in transfering it as one.

You can transfer it in any legal configuration. A semi-automatic pistol is legal, assuming it is not an AW.

After all, you can transfer an item you owned and made modifications to while you owned it.

not a question about selling but does anyone know if I can put a LaRue Tactical hand stop on my ar pistol?

You could just sell me the upper and the buffer tube and then deal with the rest as a regular lower (after you engrave Make, Model, Serial # and Manufacturer Name, City & State.)
