PSA Pistol Upper
Posted on 1/31/17 at 2:15 pm

Palmetto State Armory is running a daily deal on a 8.5'' Pistol length 300 AAC upper for $229. I know you need to go through all the hoops with the NFA for SBR's, but if I bought the "PSA complete classic pistol lower" as well would it be legal since technically it is a pistol, not a SBR. I have it added to my cart and everything and it shows the upper being sent to my home address. Just wanted to make sure the ATF won't be showing up at my door. Going to keep it as a pistol and buy a "stabilizing brace" to make sure it stays on target. TIA

As long as you don't put the short upper on a lower that would be considered a rifle you're good from my understanding. Although I think if you have a standard AR the ATF would consider having a short upper without have a pistol lower constructive possession or something along those lines.
There's much more knowledgeable NFA people around this site though.

You can buy both at the same time. Hell you can buy just the upper if you wanted. You just cant mate the upper with a rifle lower.

I believe that if you have the upper and a rifle lower with no pistol lower you have constructive possession and can be charged whether the are mated or not.
ETA: Also, you need a charging handle and bolt carrier group. That upper does not come with those items, just FYI. And that website has had a lot of credit card security issues for the last couple years, I would have suggested getting a visa gift card to use instead of your personal credit card or debit card.

your belief is correct though the chances of being discovered are infinitesimal

I understand that, but still not a risk versus the reward in my book. To have that be unusable and in my home at the risk of not having any of my guns that are usable ever again, just doesn't seem worth the risk.

to use a personal example, i ordered and received a 10" barrel for my uzi, before my SBR stamp arrived. i was in violation of federal firearms law for the time i had the barrel in my possession without the stamp, because of the constructive possession clause, even if i never fit it to the firearm
now...under what circumstances would an ATF agent have come to my house, with a warrant, to search out and discover both the barrel and the firearm it could be mated to? i guess you could say probable cause would have been my purchase of the barrel, but thats a stretch
i'm not advocating anyone break the law, but like i said the chances of discovery are too small to compute

Nobody in the history of the ATF has ever been convicted of constructive intent without other charges (theft, assault, tax evasion, etc). It's a boogeyman law that is next to nonexistent.
