I thought if you build an AR rifle from parts you could not sale it as a complete rifle, that you could only sale as parts.
Second, I live in Texas but do not have a CHL, can I load my RIFLE mags at home and transport them to the range loaded, not with a mag in the rifle just pre-load my mags.
A lower receiver is the ONLY part that is restricted. If you buy a lower and then add an upper to it (making a complete weapon) you can sell it however you like.
As far as transporting loaded mags with a weapon in the same vehicle, that might not be a good idea (depends on your State). Your best bet is to always keep the weapon and ammo seperate and just load mags when you get to the range.
Personal Use. FAET does not attach in cases where a manufacturer, importer or producer incidentally manufactures, produces or imports a taxable article for personal use. See 27 CFR Section 53.112(b).
