Legalities of an AR 80% lower

285ferrari · Feb 3, 2013

I just received five 80% lowers and have five more on order. Can't wait to start building them.

how long ago did you order and what timeline did they give you?

km04 · Feb 6, 2013

I think I may order at least on of these lowers

What is the most you guys would be willing to pay for nice billet 80% lower?

hollyb1 · Feb 7, 2013

I would buy two today at $70 a piece.

crfakm4 · Feb 7, 2013

Im afraid those days are long gone, for a while anyway.

Most 80% lowers start life as forgings, and at the moment there are few if any forgings heading anywhere other than to be finished as complete receivers.

billet80.com is running about 4-5 weeks lead-time. Expensive, but from what I can see nowhere else has them available this side of summer.

Is t true that you must finish the lower yourself, that you can not pay someone to do it for you?

Yes. If they finish it for you then they are a manufacturer and need an FFL. Someone can help you get set up but cannot perform the work.

They are the coolest paperweights you can buy!

At what point is it considered "finished" where you could then have a pro work on it for general maintenance / upkeep? Seems like a really blurry line....

smores · Feb 9, 2013

I saw some 80% lowers at the chantilly show last night...

How much

$140 for billet at precision firearms. Great deal... 80% lowers are going for $200+ on gunbroker.

ATF says when u can drop a trigger group in it. Everything else can be machined/milled/drilled out except the trigger pocket.

GB has a couple of 80%....rguns has lower forgings for $20

I've ordered forgings from rguns. Go here for the 'book'
http://www.ray-vin.com/frtech.htm
Follow the machining link and there is another at the bottom for the book. A multichapter pdf on how to go from 0 to 100%

Now if I could just find similar instructions and forgings for a .308
