Yeager Says You Can't Build an 80% Lower

[Sylvain]

So is buying a "80% lower" a way to get around gun registration in states that does that? I assume it's like that in California.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Good grief.

So your first ambush went well?

We can buy multiple 80% lowers and learn.

Odd. I think my comment & photos of these lowers was deleted from his FB thread?
My machining must not have been up to snuff

 

[lovemachine]

Sorry, I respectfully disagree...

We recently purchased 3 CNC machines at my shop. Your awesome lower makes me want to buy one and make it just as awesome.

there are plenty free cam files online for you to make a complete billet lower, upper. grabcad.com is one of the sites.

I think I have enough equipment in the steel mill to make a lower.

Let's discuss the most important issue at hand:

Is "PANTLESS" correct?

Is "PANTSLESS" more correct?

I do find it funny how so many who wanted an 80% lower to avoid being on some supposed radar, bought all of the other parts off the web with a credit card.
80% lower, mill, some skill and Cerakote......seen folks with nice lowers.
Too much hassle IMHO.

Where did he "clarify " his initial comments?

And WTF is he talking about?

James is projecting.
He has no metalworking skills or patience and therefore assumes no one else does.

Dude, you have the skills and gear to make it from scratch. Why bother with an 80% lower? You can do better yourself.

"INGO. Philosopher kings tackling the great questions of our time. "

You are clearly an erudite and perceptive individual, sir.

You could be right!

No FFL.

 

[Bfish]

No FFL.

If it's made for personal use you shouldn't need anything. That's how the 80% exist.

 

[rhino]

No FFL.

No FFL or manufacturer's license needed if you make it for your own use. It's legally the same as buying an 80% and finishing it. Otherwise you'd need an FFL for that too.

What he said!

 

[lovemachine]

So I can legally make my own lower from a chunk of aluminum without a FFL?

I had no idea....

Yep.

 

[lovemachine]

Yep.

Hmm.....

 

[bobzilla]

Yep.

iirc, you cannot sell them, correct?

 

[Bfish]

Correct you cannot sell or distribute them...

Make one though lovemachine! If I had the ability I know I would!

 

[Bfish]

No, a license is not required to make a firearm solely for personal use. However, a license is required to manufacture firearms for sale or distribution. The law prohibits a person from assembling a non–sporting semiautomatic rifle or shotgun from 10 or more imported parts, as well as firearms that cannot be detected by metal detectors or x–ray machines. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and advance approval by ATF.
