Registering AR15 upper/lower
« on: March 04, 2013, 06:31:34 PM »
I was wondering about whether or not you need to update your registration for a AR15.  Basically I bought a complete rifle a few years back and registered it as a complete rifle.  I have recently sold the complete upper portion of the rifle.  Do I need to update my registration as a complete lower only?  What would be the benefit to registering it as a lower only?  I mean, is it worth the trouble of waiting in that long line for a technicality?

I just register the lower on its own, I feel it's less hassle plus I move uppers at times no reason to go down every time plus the less they know the better. For all they know I have a bunch of stripped lowers  ;).

Also the lower is the only thing that has a number to register, you don't need to register anything else.

Right now the lower I have is registered as a complete rifle.  Do you think it's worth while to register it as a lower only?

No I wouldn't waste your time it's already registered. Like previously stated the only part that has serial numbers is the lower

It'd be a waste of theirs, yours and everyone elses (those waiting in line) time. I really don't think they'll do anything more than scratch out the bbl length on your current registration (if even that). Most likely you'll get the "are you stupid?" look before they turn you away.

Wait a sec..i thought that they measure barrel length so how is it that you only need to bring the lower to register?  :wacko:

They put "receiver only" on the permit.
