I see where a question was answered, saying it required shipment to an FFL. How in the world is that, because it's just a frame, right? I see no guts inside this frame. So why would would it require pickup at an FFL?

Question

James G. · Answer

Hi Jackie and welcome. Because the frame is serialized and must ship to an FFL for transfer. As stated in **RED** in the listing. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Randy I. · Answer

The frame is considered a firearm because it has the Serial number on it and must go through a FFL all other parts to make it a complete gun can be delivered to your door without  using a FFL

Ed C. · Answer

Hi Jackie, according to the ATF, the pistol frame is the part that is serialized and the part that is considered an "actual gun." 
The  frame of a handgun that is the regulated part and must go thru an FFL. 
Stay safe & have a great day!
