So what happens with the "donor" AR? Do you have to register it as a stripped lower in the event of a ban by the government?
Yep. Just call up the CFP and tell them it's a stripped lower.

"Frame/receiver only" is how mine are registered.....
You're supposed to call the Firearm Center and advise them of barrel length, capacity, and caliber once your build is finished. The upper and lower are already registered. Not doing doesn't have any advantages. Lots of disadvantages though.
Edit... unless it is only a stripped lower. Misunderstood your response.
Why would you need to call and tell them? If you bought a complete lower and registered it, would you call and register additional uppers - I thought the lower was the firearm and the registered part?
Hi
My understanding of this AR stuff is very limited.
I just bought a stripped lower, that is all I have
I was thinking about buying a “build kit” that has everything else.
If I get the kit, and one of your receivers, will I have everything I need or will I need to get other things?
Thank you for your patience
Basically what this is going to do is replace your upper and lower AR receivers. You will need almost everything else from an AR build kit. The LPC will come with its own bolt carrier and you will need the bolt from the AR.
You can't register uppers. Only the lower of an AR15 is registered. If you change the barrel length, or strip it you're supposed to notify the CFP so they can issues an update registration certificate.
I’m still confused. If you can’t register uppers, how do they know what barrel length you have? And, why would it matter since AR-15’s of any barrel length are restricted.
Thanks for your help; sorry for the thread Hijack. Subscribed and I’ll go search the black rifle thread and look at my CFP handbook.
BTW, I’m thinking a 16” coyote gun built on your LPC would be a lot of fun.
As a side benefit;
Manual action firearms don't have any barrel length requirement for non-restricted status.
You only need to worry about 26 inch overall length (with the stock collapsed or folded.)

This was a the heart of what I was thinking about in my above post.
All of a sudden one starts to look at that 11" 300 blackout and 14.5 - 16.1" barrels in the bin in a very different light!!
Further there a significant amount of documentation on the web that short barrels can very very accurate as well!!
Just food for thought
