The new rules redefine unfinished frames and receivers as firearms, requiring them to be serialized. Commercial manufacturers and sellers of firearm kits must be licensed and conduct background checks on buyers, similar to commercially made firearms.

The ATF now classifies unfinished frames and receivers, including those sold in kits, as firearms under federal law. This means they must be serialized and regulated as such, impacting how they are manufactured, sold, and transferred.

Are background checks required for ghost gun kits under the new rules?

Yes, commercial sellers of firearm kits that are now classified as firearms must obtain a license and conduct background checks on potential buyers before completing a sale, aligning with regulations for other firearms.
