Can a 1944 Remington Rand Slide be shipped to a person without an FFL?

  My first thought is no FFL required. I purchased a Hi-Power slide at a gun show with no paper work. The frame seems like the only piece requiring the FFL. Ask a local FFL holder for the definite answer.

  YES [^] A slide is considered parts [;)]

  Sure. Only the frame requires an FFL.

  Of course.
  
  Not only can it be shipped to a person without an FFL, it can even be shipped LEGALLY to a person without an FFL via regular US Postal mail.
  
  The gun FRAME is the part legally considered to be "the gun". That's the part requiring legal transfer with an FFL intermediary.

  Correct !
  The "frame" is considered the seialized firearm per the feds.
  but ,
  some 'slides' may have a serial # ??? but are still NOT considered the 'firearm' ......

  Just for clarification (I know "beantownshootah" knows this): A frame can be legally transferred privately (no FFL intermediary needed) within the borders of many states. It can be shipped (by private carrier) within the borders of many states too with no FFL intermediary.
  
  The FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee) is required when a firearm (the frame of the 1911 is considered the "firearm") crosses over states borders. The Federal government has limited jurisdiction in commerce within a state's borders when it comes to Federal Firearms laws.
  
  State and local laws vary, so one has to know the rules in one's specific state and local jurisdiction.
