Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's new rule regarding frames and receivers?

The ATF's new rule (2021-05F) classifies partially complete pistol frames, like those from Polymer 80, as firearms. This means they are subject to regulation regardless of whether they are sold alone or require further machining.

Why is the ATF's open letter considered an admission of lying?

The ATF previously stated in court documents that partially complete frames were not firearms unless sold with jigs or instructions. Their new open letter contradicts this, suggesting they misrepresented facts to the courts.

What are the implications of the ATF's new frames and receivers rule?

Companies selling these items will now need to serialize them and conduct background checks before sale. This rule is facing significant legal challenges, with arguments that it is unconstitutional.

Which lawsuits are challenging the ATF's frames and receivers rule?

Key lawsuits include the FPC Vanderstock case and the Division 80 lawsuit. These cases are being modified to address the ATF's new interpretation and argue for the rule's invalidation.
