questions about buying a dagger pistol and a psa ar.


1. Pistol (dagger not at pistol)
Do you buy any frame separate and then purchase a slide and barrel combo?
I am specifically asking if there is any paperwork since there would be two separate ID numbers.
Is there any advantage to purchase them together as a single firearm?


2. I guess all the same questions but for an AR. Don’t know if there is any difference between handgun and rifle process.

The recievers are the only serialed item on the guns. If you buy the lowers together a good FFL will only charge you for 1 item when they do the background check. You can have the uppers shipped to your house with no pproblems. Ar are like adult Legos welcome to the club.

You will need to decide if you are buying a stripped lower and adding the components or buying one already put together.

Completing the build is not hard at all but there are a few tools that make it much easier.

Once you do one you will not want to stop.

Yeah, so ... I'm in the Flagship PSA store on Fernandina about once a week ... picking up parts, buying ammo, picking up online orders, etc.

If you live near a PSA store you can save transfer fees, and sometimes shipping costs, by shipping directly to their stores.

If not ... if you live where there are no stores, then you'll have both lowers shipped to your favorite FFL and, hopefully, they'll only charge you one transfer fee if they're on the up-and-up.

Get your lowers and then order parts that fit your specific needs. I've built a bunch of ARs, 10s and 15s, using PSA lowers. They have a great $29.95 sale going-on right now for their blem lowers.

Any paperwork needed to match a lower to an upper?
