Ruger 10/22 receiver and FFL x-fer issue

[boy412]

I recently bought a new KIDD 10/22 receiver and had it shipped to an FFL. The FFL is saying I can't just come pick it up and pay the transfer fee. That there is an aproval process and an 8 day waiting period? They seem to be handling it like its a pistol (or something that can be made into a pistol). This is the first time I've ever bought something that was not a complete rifle, so I'm not even sure what to tell them.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can technically make a pistol out of it (sub 16" barrel) right? Maybe that's their justification?

Yeah sounds like you live in a commie state.

Any bare receiver is treated as a pistol.

Maybe he can put a 16” barrel on it and rifle transfer it

That's hilarious (and also ridiculous, stupid, insane, a waste of my time, and lots of other things).

I don't mind waiting. If its going to be a bunch of extra $ or I have to get some kind of handgun qualification thing I'm going to just have them send it back to KIDD.

If your in MD you prolly will have to get that BS HQL
