Definition of Frame or Receiver 2022
August 26, 2022
View the video updates on this page to find out more, but we're actually in a "second best case" scenario as of right now. ATF2021-R05 took effect, no preliminary injunction was won prior to 8/24/22. Some places are selling "blanks", some 3D jig files are up on the net, and all other parts are readily available as "normal". We will try to keep the links to blanks updated on the individual P80 size/platform pages if they move.

Counsel for JSD Supply filed for a Temporary Restraining Order in federal court in the western district of Pennsylvania. Hearing has been set for 5/25/22. Please consider donating to the cause below. I believe this is going to be the "tip of the spear" of the national challenges to the recent ATF actions and rule.

On May12th, JSD Supply was served a Cease and Desist on their front porch by two ATF field agents from the Pittsburgh field office. The letter was issued by the main office in Philadelphia. You can view the letter in at least one place I know of at the button below.
JSD Supply took immediate action, suspending operations and engaging the advice of cousel.
The C&D appears to be in direct contradiction to the Receiver Rule that is to take effect 8/24/22.
Here are the contradictory quotes from the two documents:
- 5/12/22 C&D From Philadelphia SAC to JSD: "These kits are, therefore, firearms under the GCA and always have been firearms pursuant to statute. This is and has been true notwithstanding the recently announced regulations and definitions under Final Rule 2021R-05F."
- 4/26/22 published Final Rule regarding Definition of Frame and Receiver: "The only exception to “grandfathering” will be for partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional frames or receivers, including weapon or frame or receiver parts kits, that ATF did not classify as firearm “frames or receivers” as defined prior to this rule.".
JSD Supply will be back online soon, I have no doubt. While they kickoff their legal fight, please be patient and if you are able, use one of the Defense links below to help them keep the lights on and take the ATF to the mat.

The "final rule" defining a Frame or Receiver published to the federal register on April 26th, 2022. The effective date of the "rule" is August 24th, 2022.
GOA and FPC, as well as others, are set to start litigation to try to block or delete this egregious infringement and overreach. Two of the six buttons below take you to where you can join them or donate to help fuel the biggest fight for our rights in my lifetime.
The other buttons help you learn more or contact your legislators, and then the handful of buttons all of the way at the bottom will take you to our dedicated 80% project pages for resources to help you exercise your rights harder.
