Why do lowers have to be shipped to a ffl, yet uppers don't? You'd think the upper would be the part requireing the ffl beacuse it's the main part of the gun, and you can change the cal also.

I'm confused

basically, it comes down to federal law requiring serial numbers on the receivers. The receiver is what requires an FFL transfer.

Barrels, stocks, triggers, any other part does not.

The lower receiver with the S/N is the gun, as far as the Feds are concerned. All of the other stuff is just parts.
