Forget Gold and Silver... Let me talk to you ALUMINUM 80% LOWERS

This is a "$90 at your local yard sale" drill press:

This $125 item is, "Our complete jig for completing the machining of a Tactical Machining 80% AR-15 lower receiver":
http://www.tacticalmachining.com/80-...ar-15-jig.html
http://www.tacticalmachining.com/med...07_265x265.jpg



This IS A GUN; an AR 15 Lower, it has a serial number and must be shipped to an FFL dealer:

This is an 80% Lower, it is NOT A GUN; a 'non FFL item",
you can buy it on the net with a money order and have it shipped to a PO BOX.
Without licence, you can manufacture and $ELL 80's
on the net or off your front porch unrestricted.
Its a shipped-to-your-door $80-$180, buy in bulk if you like; no background check transaction:

In the eyes of the law, its just a novelty, a paper weight; a chunk of aluminium.




This too is a non-FFL purchase:

Waiting lists are currently about 3 month$ out on all 80% lowers;

www.ar15.com is a great place to keep up on that;
30 days old and 100 pages long:

You would probably want to read a few gunsmithing books before engaging in that little endeavor. And prescence, to the best of your knowledge, is that illegal? I would assume they would find some sort of way to give you 10 years.

Out of stock.....the jig

For your information, per provisions of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, an unlicensed individual may make a “firearm” as defined in the GCA for his own personal use, but not for sale or distribution.

I'm not a lawyer.

You might need a finned pistol grip in CA and NY to make sure you don't accidentally assault somebody.

Check that thread at ar15.com they've spit out 3 pages a day for the past month on stock issues related to Lowers; plenty of others in this business... many mom and pop grassroots shops springing up, as you don't have to be licensed to manufacture and sell 80's; they're just paper weights. Its probably wise to get your jig from the same people that you get your paper weight from as ATF has changed their 80% requirements and some require additional/different tooling (ie safety selector hole).

What is an 80% lower? What's it missing that makes it legal?

I believe it is because the are not finished, you have to do the remaining 20%.

LOL, from the headline I thought the bottom dropped out of scrap aluminum. I got ten 40 gallon bags of crushed cans in my basement.

Yeah but what's the 20%? It looks like a stripped lower which is regulated. So what's it missing from a stripped lower that would allow me to manufacture these and sell them on EBay?

Hole for selector, hole for trigger pivot and slot for trigger. That I can see from pictures

KT Ordnance has provided you, the customer, with this BATFE determination letter to ensure the customer that we have complied with all BATFE rules and regulations. This AR-Style receiver has not had the

trigger group cavity (fire control box) machined, or the
hammer,
trigger/sear,
and selector holes drilled (80%),

and may have other machining operations incomplete beyond what TFB requires (less than 80%).

Any opinions on the relative quality of the 80% lowers from different manufacturers?
