How would you respond if you were asked for proof of purchase on the components bill of sale for the incomplete lower?

There's no requirement for me to retain receipts...

If your firearm comes under a criminal investigation proof of purchase more than likely be required. Such as stolen and ussd in a crime.

See, here's the thing: I don;t need to keep receipts. Period. If one of my guns came under a criminal investigation it would be the responsibility of someone else to prove that I didn't build the gun. Not having receipts for parts is hardly a compelling basis on which to prosecute someone...

I built all my AR Platform weapons ( most from 100% DROsed Receivers and they are all serialized )

I hate to say it they are also illegal.

I think that law is a bit ambiguous. It permits an unlicensed individual to make a firearm for personal use, but not for sale or distribution. If the weapon was manufactured from parts that were purchased by the end user, would that be a collaborative effort? And how would the actual manufacturer be determined. Also, it is not illegal to gift a home made or any other weapon to a non prohibited person within your home state. The ambiguity arises in the phrase "for sale or distribution." If I have a weapon that I made for personal use and at some future time I decide to sell or gift it--was that weapon made for sale or distribution? IDK, more gun control laws that weren't clearly thought out.

No the law is quit clear which I pointed out. You cannot build a firearm and sell or give it to someone else. It must remain in your possession. Unless you have a licence to sell and manufacture firearms.

I think they would be hard pressed to enforce this law. It is anything but clear. It is clearly unenforceable as I indicated with the scenario of buying the parts to mfr. a gun and my knowledgeable neighbor assembling them for me. There is no way on earth that the authorities can prove who actually assembled the parts.
