Anyone know if there has been an official ruling on what AK said, that any time you put on the upper that change needs to be reported to the CFC? Court rulings, bulletins?

It's right on the full page that registration cert comes on.
I built an AR 10 years ago and it was impossible to find a verifier. They are volunteers not GOV staff. Even my gunsmith didn't want to do it to help the GOV.
I'd tell the CFC to find one and send them over, otherwise they need to refuse you in writing.

No, problem NOT solved. You are required by law to report a change to a firearm frame or receiver that allows it to discharge ammunition. You are legally obligated to report EVERY CHANGE. Putting a completed upper on a receiver registered as frame-only for five seconds and then removing it immediately afterwards doesn't absolve you of your duty to report the changes, regardless of how long they were in effect. Leaving a firearm registered as frame-only and putting an upper on to shoot occasionally and NOT reporting it is unlawful.

That said, the reason given by the CFO is pure bullsh*t and should be challenged. What do they think you did, milled it for an auto sear?

i was looking into this a while back an it turned out that so long as it isnt a permanent change then its ok. i believe they said if its on for 90 days then it hs to be reported.
but yes, if someone wants to register theirs to the upper they have decided to marry to their lower then the CFO should do it with no headaches.

if you had to report every temp change you made to the firearm then those .22lr conversion kits for pistols and ar's are illegal, or have it registered as a multi caliber and multi barrel.. if that even exists.

I just took possession of a new ar build. The lower reciever was registered to me previously as a stripped receiver.

I asked to update the registration certificate as a functional AR, but the cfo's office is insisting that the firearm must be verified before a new certificate will be issued.

Is this usual?

Don't talk to the CFO. Call the CFP. 1 800 731 4000. They should be able to do what you want over the phone.
