This could become a messy situation. There is a significant, potentially complicating factor.
It is my understanding that for the purposes of federal law because an AR lower receiver may be built out into either a rifle or a handgun, it is neither a rifle nor a handgun; and it is therefore classed as "other." And under federal law it would be subject to rules generally applicable to handguns (unless and until it is actually built into a rifle).
I have no idea how an AR lower would be treated under Connecticut law. So there is a possibility that the initial transfer without formalities to the OP was infirm under Connecticut law.
So getting a lawyer involved might be a very good idea. Also, documenting any contacted or attempted contact is good idea.

You should not he spouting off law that you don't understand. Community property is a particular form of marital property law based on Civil (Roman) Law and recognized in nine States: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. Connecticut is not a community property State; marital property law in Connecticut (and the other States) is based on Common Law.
