"Under the US Code of Federal Regulations, a firearm frame or receiver is defined as: “That part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel.”
The lower receiver in Roh’s case does not have a bolt or breechblock and is not threaded to receive the barrel, Nicolaysen noted."
The same could also be said for the frames of most semiautomatic pistols, where the frame contains the trigger mechanism but the slide contains the firing mechanism, bolt or breechblock and barrel.
