Okay, so I'm confused on particulars of straw purchase in this case.
My Brother is 16, and wants an AR-15. I can't buy one for him using his money (straw purchase) but I also can't afford to give him the full gun (I'm broke)
If I was to buy him a stripped lower for his Birthday, and then build the gun for him, but let him pay for the rest of the parts himself, is it a straw purchase?
As I understand it, the Lower Receiver is "The Gun" on an AR-15, and it's the only part that requires a 4473, am I right on this?
This is probably just a hypothetical, since he'll most likely turn 18 and buy his own before I get around to buying it for him (I'm a procrastinator) but I'm curious about it anyway.
