I actually thought of this idea before. I was wondering how long it would take before people started to make these.
In theory they should be no more or less legal than a 80% suppressor or solvent trap. But I'm sure the ATF wouldn't take to kindly to the idea.

LL would be the way to go.  It would be hilarious watching the ATF shit themselves.

Now that I typed that, I'm not sure a solvent trap is legally a 80% suppressor. Anyone have more info?

Please explain ..................

I have an 80% Philadelphia Ordnance BAR receiver.

Can be machined to 100% and made into a Post Sample NFA weapon by a SOT with the proper licensing.

He's both right and wrong.  There's no 80% in Title I firearms either. It's either a receiver or it's not.




This is the truth .


Yep, I see now ........................  thanks

Ironic response, given your screen name...

I am asking simply if there is a legitimate source for 80% DIAS or LL kits, which are not firearms (just like 80% lowers), presumably used by FFL/SOT guys to manufacture post samples.  I would like to give these away at a gun show.  It would, legally speaking, be no different than giving away 80% lowers.  Which is effectively giving away paperweights.
yeah sure that was your thread motive

Not me, but I do know the guy that was selling all those objectionable grenades and mines though.  

There are a lot of ATF dudes pretty far up the chain that know me by name...I might be a pain to them sometimes, but I have always been above board.  I might have been told a few times that I really shouldn't do things just because I can.

Logic says that if it does not in its current form make a firearm fire more than one shot per pull of the trigger, it should be fine.



I think the problem will be with the NFA wording about "readily convertible"



Dont know that ATF has ever "deemed' to draw the line on that for us.

True.  So at what point is it a DIAS or LL?  When you own a piece of sheet metal?  When the sheet metal has a design sketched on it?  When half that design is machined out?

They drew a line when they put a ban on the manufacture of open bolt semiautomatic firearms. The very nature of them makes them readily convertible.

There was a company selling them a couple years ago-basically a piece of metal with marks where to bend it. Seemed shady as hell, they wanted payment in the form of a postal money order made out to cash or left blank(not sure which).

There's also a company selling 80% FA backplates for Glocks. "No 80%" or not, they claim it's legal and they say they will not help individuals with completion, only SOT's.

The SSF is nice. The aluminum box I use to store mine was pretty expensive, though.

Truth be told, I really just like shooting my RR in semi & enjoy seeing other people smile, on the rare times it comes out of the safe. The risk/benefit of tap dancing close to the unreg NFA line isn't there for me.

It would be more clever to machine the trip as part of the nose where the keyring attaches. Not a DIAS. It would take a hacksaw, drill, and additional parts to actually become the conversion device. I wouldn't buy one, but I respect the ingenuity.

There's no such thing. It's either a suppressor or it's not. Until you drill holes they're paper weights, storage cups, etc.

Tool steel for this then?  Never seen or heard of these before. Pretty cool.

Is possession of one of these illegal?

I did a bit of reading on a similar topic.

Get hooked up with an SOT.

Make half a dozen examples of what you want at various levels of completion.

Send them to the ATF tech branch one at a time with the explicit question "Is this a firearm?" or "Is this a machine gun?" - Or something along those lines.

Wait a year.

When they respond "NO", your chunk of metal/plastic is still just a chunk of metal/plastic.
