As far as registering a lower you made and used to produce a AR prior to/on 5 APR 13 ... you register it like any other.
In "manufacturer" I would put: "n/a or self"
In serial number I would put "n/a"
Importer would be "n/a"
Model: "n/a"
Caliber: "whatever it is or you have .. maybe you have 20 uppers for it, I don't know"...if you have 2 uppers, I would think that only 1 form needs to be completed but you likely could file 2 registration forms ... seek a lawyer for this query really...its a messed up law
And, I myself, woudl scratch out the following from the form:
I understand that any false statement herein, which I do not believe to be true and which is intended to mislead a public servant in the performance of his or her official function, is punishable by law (See C.G.S. § 53a-157b). I further understand that any statement in this application that is determined tobe false or inaccurate shall constitute grounds for the denial of such application. If approved before the facts are known, such approval shall be void if based on a false or inaccurate statement. My signature below attests to the accuracy, completeness and truth of all information supplied on this application
The law does not require you to sign such a statement and it requires you to verify that you understand 53a-157b ... which cannot be required IMO.
In your opinion, what would the consequence be if you crossed out this section(and social #) and initialed? could DEPPs then deny the form and then, being as the reg date has then passed, you'd be a felon by paperwork or lack there of??
curious i am
Yes you can build your own lower. TRUTH
Now, if you do not have all the parts required to be mandatory for an "assault weapon", you can finish 1000 lowers w/o it being in violation of the law.
Right now, today .. if you have the parts to complete an AR but the lower and you finish a 80% lower into a 100% lower ~ you may run into felony charges.
Is an AR in semi auto considered an "assault weapon" in your neck of the woods? I build ARs from 80% lowers and quite a few have no roll marks or serial numbers. If a stripped, completed AR lower ( no longer an 80%) it is, by it self, a weapon in the eyes of the batf. If you have a thousand completed, stripped AR15 lowers, batf considers this a thousand weapons. I do not register my weapons and all ARs are first completed as pistols, multi cal. You can always legally reconfigure a pistol to a rifle and back again without breaking the law. You cannot reconfigure a (initial build) rifle into a pistol. Dumb laws written by committee.
After building, why would you want to sell it anyway?
