Question Lowers. Riddle me this...

A stripped lower can't be sold/transferred to someone under 21 because it could be built into a pistol

and

A stripped lower is sold as a "rifle" so it can't be used to build an AR pistol (single shot)

How?

makes as much sense as the rest of this state's anti-gun laws.

How?
Because federally, it doesn't matter if you're building a pistol and a stripped lower is not "sold as a rifle". The fact that it can't become a pistol is a CA thing.

No one has ever been able to explain to me where CA law makes the California Dealer Record Of Sale system able to legally make something that it does not fit the legal definition if. A stripped lower does NOT legally fit CA's definition of "rifle" so, legally, it can't be a "rifle" even though it is sold as one. This is the stance that ATF takes. We really don't know how this argument would go in a CA court. But, a virgin stripped lower is NOT a "rifle" per CA's legal definition no matter how it is DROSed. BTW, I do know of a few people who have vol reged AR pistols made from lowers which were DROsed as long guns (prior to 2014) in CA. So, there is minimal evidence that CA has accepted the fact that virgin lowers not originally DROSed as pistols in CA can be manufactured into pistols.

That said, I would not want to be the test case and do not recommend anyone trying this. Other options are out there which are not much more money than a stripped lower and don't pose as large a risk of prosecution (whether found innocent or not, it is a costly venture to be arrested, charged and tried).

When the laws was made to make the legal age to buy pistols 21 no one really bought receivers and frames.
I think it was more of no one thought to add receivers.
The law says you can be 18 to buy long guns and shot guns. All others you need to be 21.
It more of a glitch than anything.
