Interstate interfamilial Frame Only?

[cindynles]

My father in Indiana wants to gift me a 1911 frame. Is there any issue with the roster exemption on a frame only? Does if have to be a complete handgun?

Thanks.

Does not have to be complete, direct family can gift you a frame only because it is a roster exempt transfer.

How are you to do a safe handling demonstration of a frame? I imagine there is a work around, but I don't know what it would be.

You don't. They are exempt from it same as receivers.

Thanks for the responses guy. You rock.

Keep in mind, that legally you can only use that handgun receiver/frame to build a dimensionally compliant bolt-action single-shot pistol or a dimensionally compliant break-top/open single-shot pistol.

Safe handling demo is not required for frame only transfers. See 11 CCR 4256(b).

If only the serialized or finished frame or receiver of a weapon is being delivered, no safe handling demonstration is required.

Interesting food for thought for sure. A good argument for shipping in a complete pistol.
