Building a gun for a family member
My parents want an AR and they want me to get it for them, or at least counsel them. I'm probably going to put one together. They live in Utah and I'm here in CO. Is there anything wrong with me building it here in CO and then gifting it to them in UT? UT and CO have very similar gun laws so i dont think it'll be a problem but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks
Why not order all the parts for them in their name and deliver to their house. Then go there and build it out for them? Prob take all but an hour or so in time... And then the pops learns something also....Originally Posted by loveski
THIS! Wow, that's a really cool idea- not just build a gun for them, but teach them how it's done. A full disassembly/assembly also can teach you how to really deep clean that thing too!Why not order all the parts for them in their name and deliver to their house.

You can take it to Utah, but need to go through an FFL there for them to take possession of it.

Why?
Because interstate firearms transactions MUST use an FFL under federal law.
Probably also a Utah law about it, and I know there is a Colorado law which mirrors the federal, requiring sales or gifts of firearms to residents of other states to go through a federally licensed dealer.
In the case of a complete rifle, the parents could come here, and pick it up at a Colorado FFL, but since he's going to build it for them in Utah, might as well ship the receiver to the Utah FFL, and he can legally bring the non-firearm parts with him to help them build it.

This may come as a surprise, but some people just dont care about the workings of a rifle, they just want one to sit in the closet, loaded. My parents pertain into this small assemblage.
This is one of the most common sense answers from anyone. NOT To mention a new member.

Now that ^^ my friend, is a true gift.
That aside, the FFL transfer thing is the legal way to do it. I always thought it was a bit ridiculous and a clear example of government overstep, but it is what it is.

There is one way to legally do it without an FFL. It requires a final will and a death. Barring that everyone must use an FFL for interstate transfers.
