I've over the years have heard of MSP or local Leo's say to Sign as the seller and buyer, IE like someone bringing in pistols that are not Michigan bought. Now live in Mich. and need to reg. them with the state. Now with the "build from parts" to reg. the AR pistol is accepted, It really comes down to can you afford to pay 250 for unregistered firearms and could the state take away your firearm? I'd refer to Legal counsel for advise on this. All the stripped lowers I ever marked were "Other" ... Unless they are buying a complete Pistol ...

It's not about the "Seller Information" section. It's about the "Buyer Information" section. You are completing the RI-060 and placing your own name in the "Purchaser Information" section and signing it as the "Purchaser". Ownership was previously transferred to you when the ATF Form 5300.0 (4473) was completed. Explain to me how you 'purchase' something from yourself when you already own it?
That is not exactly what I said.
In Michigan, if it is over 26" and does not have any other defining features (shoulder stock), then it is a "firearm". Michigan also has no laws about a VFG.
The feds don't limit the OAL length of a pistol. They instead depend on the configuration of the stocks and the concept that it was designed to be fired by the use of one hand. They also use "firearm" as all inclusive and a catchall for anything that doesn't fit another definition. When Franklin Armory came out with a "short barreled" AR based "firearm" that came with a VFG and was just over 26" OAL, the feds approved and classified it as a "firearm". They also warned to not ever try to conceal it.
