Selling one part is not a problem, no matter what someone tells you. I don't know about the dealers you are referring to, but I knew one who got in trouble for selling 4 or 5 parts, then telling the buyer to "come back later" to get the rest. Not four or five years, more like five minutes. Of course, he was already in violation of the law by having those parts, no matter how he sold them, but he thought that by not selling them all at once he would get away with it. He didn't; the buyer was a BATFE agent.

In another case, a young man bought several parts from one dealer (who was careful not to have all the parts), then was directed to another dealer for the rest. He met another man who was also interested in auto weapons, and the young man assembled the carbine at his new friend's apartment. Then they went to the friend's uncle's farm to shoot it. The "uncle", I need not say, was Uncle Sam. Oooops!

It was all on video tape, of course. The young man pleaded guilty and escaped with a light fine, but he can never again own any kind of a gun.

'Taint worth it, folks.
