Need some opinions/ advice from some of you "gun hands"

That is a true statement, but when there is also credit card transactions buying the jig, a barrel, a LPK, handguard, trigger and upper.....

Not saying they will do anything about it, but someone posted above that apparently the ATF is going door to door collecting 80%'s that people bought (news to me), why even give them the option?

A cash deal in a parking lot is always best! (Where local rules allow). The law here in Michigan looks like it might be changing to require background checks on private long gun sales soon, which I think many other states have already adopted.

I understand the paper trail.

just because I buy a 9 second car, doesn't mean I am going 9 seconds. Those other parts are just parts. i haven't seen any reference to anything like the ATF going door to door for random people. If they show up at a door, there is likely some forcing function (right or wrong) that caused them to look at the person. Could be a pissed off ex for all I know making an anon tip.

I am not disagreeing with private sales btw. It's a valid point to be sure. Glad I live where I live....
