There's a saying. You can't use not knowing a law as a defense against the law.

I suspect I'm a few uppers shy of complete rifles.

I don't want to do anything that would get me in trouble though. Everything I have read says you dont need to but nothing says you can't.
I have a stripped lower with an FA-10 completed by the retail seller specifying the manufacturer as "Other," listing the make and model, the caliber as 5.56MM, the barrel length as 00.00, color Black, lg capacity, and serial number listed.
1. What I'm hearing is that I have to go to the Massachusetts Firearms Registration and Transfer System and "Register" it even though it is actually registered, changing only the barrel length.
2. I am also understanding that I can remove the 16" upper from my off-the-shelf Bushmaster, put it on the new lower and call it complete.
Please verify 1 and 2 above?
The system won't kick it back because it is already registered?
From what I've read that fa10 is going to get kicked back as invalid.
Still curious whether someone who decides to register early (before it can fire a shot) a homemade rifle is breaking a law.
Does registering the rifle count as one of your 4 fa10s?
Quick question. The barrel length recorded should include any perm. attached muzzle break/comp. correct? ie a 14.5" barrel becomes a 16" when adding a 1.5" comp.
Can anyone dirct me to the web site where the registration is done? I assume pistol and rifle are registered in the same way.
I have the same situation, bought two lowers in the Delaware group buy here2 years ago and transferred them through FS. Funny thing there must have been some left over garbage on the screen because the model is listed as “sharps 15” which is not correct, there is no model or caliber on lower.I have a stripped lower with an FA-10 completed by the retail seller specifying the manufacturer as "Other," listing the make and model, the caliber as 5.56MM, the barrel length as 00.00, color Black, lg capacity, and serial number listed.
