COLJI-Crim. F:158.5
FRAME OR RECEIVER OF A FIREARM
“Frame or receiver of a firearm” means a part of a firearm that, when
the complete firearm is assembled, is visible from the exterior and provides
housing or a structure designed to hold or integrate one or more fire
control components, even if pins or other attachments are required to
connect the fire control components.
Any part of a firearm imprinted with a serial number is presumed to
be a frame or receiver of a firearm, unless the federal bureau of alcohol,
tobacco, firearms, and explosives makes an official determination
otherwise or there is other reliable evidence to the contrary.
