BATF is what all other companies must follow - does not mean that companies can not invent their own rules. But there are NOT exceptions such as the luger construction. There are numerous guns that have this type of construction. P38 (slide is numbered and comes off), 1911's, brownings, etc.

AR-15 uppers would fit that definition? And hundreds of them are sold and shipped USPS.

First time I have heard someone say that the upper is a controlled item...

I know not of other guns but I think I understand what you are saying. According to ATF the frame is the controlled item and all the rest are parts which the shipping companies must follow. Right?
