On March 21st of this year (2023), the ATF issued an advisory letter about last year’s rules updates on “readily convertible weapons.”
In April 2022, the Department of Justice issued a final rule that they say “modernizes the definition of a firearm.” This rule states that partially complete frames or receivers that are “readily” convertible to firearms are subject to the same regulations as firearms made by licensed manufacturers. This means that anyone selling these items and kits must be licensed to sell firearms (FFL) and comply with all of the requirements of the Gun Control Act, including serialization and background checks.
