No you're right, the only part of a gun that qualifies as a gun is the frame or reciever piece, probably whatever houses the trigger and magazine. I found this out back when I was shopping for 1911s, I looked at the parts list on Kahr Arms/Auto Ordnance and found a disclaimer on the frames for sale that said you needed an FFL cause it qualified as a firearm itself. Other parts are just hunks of metal. I bought a hammer strut, the pin, magazines and grips at a gun show no problems and I'm 17.
