    Forgive me if this has been discussed, but I read something on another forum the other day that got me thinking. It stated that if you possessed a complete AR upper under 16” while at the same time had in your possession a complete AR 15 rifle 16” or over, the ATF could consider that constructive intent of a SBR. One man’s opinion on the internet doesn’t make fact. I’m sure a lot of folks have all kinds of uppers, lowers, kits, etc., so long as the wrong upper and lower aren’t assembled I personally see no problem. To get to my point, unless a crime is committed does the BATFE (or other LE agency) routinely check all these mail order companies to see what’s being purchased, and by whom? If I have an upper, or other non-FFL part mailed to my home does anyone but the seller know about it?

    I think they will go this route. If they can ban certain guns, go after anything associated with them.
    Like ammo? Forbes had a report of all the billions in ammo gov’t agencies were buying up. Some of them not even law enforcement. Or minimal LE at best. But then, I don’t consider myself a conspiracy theorist.

    I seem to remember some posts about someone that got busted for constructive intent. If you have the parts and no stamp, play it safe and keep them well separated.
    google ATF and constructive intent.
