That's why I don't keep ammo receipts, it probably would hurt my feelings!!!

Seriously though, should I keep ammo receipts too? I wouldn't think so. If I should I'm screwed!

I like the whole being pro-active and keeping the receipts (though not orderly and neat like John) but I think you are fine

I try not to fear monger or predict the future. All I can say is that an AR/AK is a good investment, especially when they try to ban and/or come and take them.

So if you can, get em.

Thanks for the wise words. I have been wanting to do a build for a while but the cash keeps getting diverted to other projects. What I may do is pick up a matched set upper and lower, barrel, mags and stock of choice. Just keep buying the "evil" parts and hope I won't need to worry about it anyways.

yes and no

It will tell the date that particular part was released, but it does nothing to determine when it was "built" into a gun if it was transferred as a stripped receiver

If it was an assembled gun when it left there (the manufacturer would've paid the FET tax) but in the case of it being sold as a stripped lower, it does not indicate anything besides receiver.

It doesn't tell if it is a pistol

It doesn't tell if it is a long gun or legal configuration

Only that it was put in the distribution chain on a particular date, and you can't back anything up with that information, only that it exists.

A complete weapon on the other hand, everything can be verified by the manufacturer.

Stripped parts are a different beast.
