What's wrong here?

Who made the foregrip?

The guy got back to me, he acknowledged the mistake and took it down.

The fact that he could be sentenced to 10 years for that picture is insanity!

May be it has a Dummy display barrel in it !

Just curious ? If this was sent to a dealer in this configuration for a transfer? What should a respectable dealer do ?

Legally or morally?

My understanding is that would make no difference. This is supposed to be a pistol. There is a stock attached. Unless this is a rifle and has a 16" barrel, dummy or not, this would be an unregistered SBR. As I recall the statute lists barrel length, but there is no mention of whether that barrel is live, demilled, or a dummy barrel. It simply states barrel length. So a short dummy barrel is still a short barrel because this is a firearm, not a dummy firearm.

It would seem to me that any dealer would alert the BATF&E as soon as they opened the box. As a dealer, the BATF&E could show up about another matter unannounced. Or Someone has already clued in the BATF&E about this and are tracking it down. So I would think if the dealer received the package containing this and didn't call, they could have their own legal entanglements. YMMV.

I think the ATF's stand on contraband is pretty clear. As much as it sucks, the safe bet is to torch cut the receiver into 3 pieces.

I follow the legality of the dummy barrel. A rifle with a stock can have a dummy barrel installed. A pistol can have a stock installed but must first have a 16" barrel installed. Remove the 16" barrel before removing the stock and you're ILLEGAL.

The barrel extension would need to be permanently attached.

I'm amazed he has the audacity to say that rusty POS is in 95% condition. I despise sellers who do things like that.
