Gentlemen, et al:
This came up on another forum, and I just wanted to make sure I have my facts straight. As an AR shooter, I am well aware the lower receiver is the registered item as far as the BATFE is concerned. Thus, I can order a fully equipped upper w/ bolt over the interwebs & have it delivered to my door.
I'm not a FAL shooter, but I understand w/ the FN FAL & copies, the UPPER receiver is the registered part, & the lower receiver can be bought through the mail.
Thus, if someone engineered an adapter, consisting of a magazine well, fire-control parts, & a buffer tube nut that married the AR upper & the FN lower, that adapter would be the legal firearm as far as the BATFE was concerned. I'm just thinking that adapter could be made out of plastic & sold as an 80% kit ; )
Are my assumptions correct, even if my trigger geometry is bloody awful & there's a buffer tube poking my ear?
Farmers Fight!
