He filled the paperwork out, it was called in, came back rejected, due to being under 21.....
Not sure I understand that.

I guess, it's not considered a 'long gun'....but a handgun. Hence 21 yoa.

Ah, lower only. Got it. Its a gun. States can be different I think and the fact you can use for a handgun might be the answer. I"ve been without FFL to long to recall what the rules might be.

I guess, it's not considered a 'long gun'....but a handgun. Hence 21 yoa. He should not have tried to transfer it as a handgun. A lower should be transferred as "other", that is what matches the legal definitions. I have heard of some dealers wanting to transfer lowers as handgun or rifle, but that is incorrect and it is none of the FFL's business what it'll be used for (handgun or rifle) after the transfer. A lower transferred correctly as "other" can legally be used either way.

It’s neither a handgun or long gun, it’s a “Other Firearm”
Question 16 on the 4473 and the explanation....
Question 16. Type of Firearm(s): "Other" refers to frames, receivers and other firearms that are neither handguns nor long guns (rifles or shotguns), such as firearms having a pistol grip that expel a shotgun shell, or National Firearms Act (NFA) firearms, including silencers. If a frame or receiver can only be made into a long gun (rifle or shotgun), it is still a frame or receiver not a handgun or long gun. However, frames and receivers are still "firearms" by definition, and subject to the same GCA limitations as any other firearms. See Section 921(a)(3)(B). Section 922(b)(1) makes it unlawful for a licensee to sell any firearm other than a shotgun or rifle to any person under the age of 21. Since a frame or receiver for a firearm, to include one that can only be made into a long gun, is a "firearm other than a shotgun or rifle," it cannot be transferred to anyone under the age of 21, nor can these firearms be transferred to anyone who is not a resident of the State where the transfer is to take place. Also, note that multiple sales forms are not required for frames or receivers of any firearms, or pistol grip shotguns, since they are not "pistols or revolvers" under Section 923(g)(3)(A).
