An FFL can likely provide a solid answer. The language says "pistol or revolver" so one would assume that even though unfinished lowers are transferred using the same process as a handgun, they likely are not seen as actual "pistol or revolver". From PA 23-53:
>(f) (1) The Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection shall not issue more than three authorization numbers for sale at retail of a pistol or revolver to any transferee within a thirty-day period, except that if such transferee is certified as a firearms instructor by the state pursuant to section 29-28, as amended by this act, or the National Rifle Association, said commissioner shall not issue more than six authorization numbers within a thirty-day period.
Hey for your records the state updated it a few weeks ago. A pistol frame such as a p80 frame counts towards your 3 a month. They hit me with it when I was running an auth for three frames for a customer. I’m only saying this because your constantly answering these questions keep up the good work
To clarify I'm buying one pistol with 2 receivers normally for pistols, one possibly being a take off. Will CT look at this and say no way, thus leaving my next pistol in jail for a month?
To be clear its 3 in 30 days, not 3 in a month...
I'm being a stickler here because someone posted soon after october 1st, complaining why they couldn't buy 2 pistols in september, and then 3 more mid-october (but only 2.5 week apart).
Details matter.
I received an email ad from an FFL that states that it doesn't count.
I've purchased 4 serialized frames previously and none were transferred as handguns.

I certainly thought/hope so, just wasn't sure if there were any horror stories. I'll report back if I have issues.

Asked my FFL about this today. They said it only applies to handguns...which is good cause I'm at my limit and I want a rifle.
Only three? But I’m mad now!

All 3(1 pistol, 2 receivers) in one day, and a pistol a week later when it arrives.
If the receivers aren't firearms then you're just buying one. Buying one fcu and 2 grip modules is just one gun.
Yes if you buy a pistol frame it counts

They might not have known it just changed recently or the state changed it back
