Upper receiver of what?

On some firearms the upper receiver is considered a firearm and on some firearms the lower receiver is considered a firearm.

FSC is needed to acquire a firearm.

So, depending on what type of upper receiver it is for, determines if you need a FSC or not.


Example...
AR10/15 = lower receiver
AUG = upper receiver
FAL = upper receiver
HK91/93/94 = upper receiver
SCAR = upper receiver
