I'll try to make this quick: last year I bought four 80% AR lowers in a group buy. I built out two for myself. A friend who I occasionally shoot with asked about my new rifle and I mentioned that I had an extra 80% (I'm saving one). He bought it from me and had it machined and proceeded to build it. This was Feb/March of this year.
Last month he and his wife split up and the usual accusations went flying. In short: he has to get rid of his guns. He turned everything over to his father for safe keeping except the AR because based on California law as best as we can understand it, he cannot give the rifle away or sell it because it is a personal build with no serial number. My opinion is that he should strip it down and saw the lower in half (or otherwise make it unusable) and that will be my advice to him unless there is some other way to legally transfer it out of his hands. What would be your advice?
