Frequently Asked Questions

What is Oregon House Bill 2025?

Oregon House Bill 2025, effective September 1st, bans the manufacturing and possession of unserialized or untraceable firearms. This includes firearms made from 80% receivers or frames that lack a serial number, and those constructed from materials undetectable by X-ray or metal detectors.

What are the penalties for possessing an untraceable firearm in Oregon?

Possessing an untraceable firearm in Oregon is a Class B Violation for a first offense. With a prior conviction, it becomes a Class A Misdemeanor. If you have two or more prior convictions, the charge escalates to a Class B Felony.

How can I comply with Oregon's untraceable firearm ban?

Compliance typically involves having your unfinished frame or receiver serialized by a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). However, finding FFLs in Oregon willing to perform this service can be challenging, and same-day serialization is recommended to avoid further legal complications.

What is the difference between an undetectable and an untraceable firearm under Oregon law?

An undetectable firearm is made from materials that bypass X-ray or metal detection. An untraceable firearm lacks a serial number, often due to being built from an 80% receiver or unserialized frame. Both carry significant legal penalties in Oregon.
