We seem to have lost the other multi page thread filled with tons of relevant info on the recent policy change.

Please no Advertising outside of COC, bickering or fear mongering.

Not legal advice here but as I understand the aidz cannon it is...

Min 26 OAL
Front grip
Min 12 inch Barrel as measured from bolt face/chamber to crown or pinned muzzle device.
Pistol brace
Jury is still out if there is any maximum barrel length but have not seen any compelling info.

Build at your own risk as you are now the manufacturer, but that’s the way it has always been since we were building up rifle lowers under the first and second AWB and with registered lowers. So have fun.

So where are we seeing lowers for sale. Where are they in stock and who is taking orders?

KEEP FACTUAL, NO B.S. OR THIS WILL GET TRASHED.....andrapos

Tobacco Valley Gun has some inbound.

The Gun Store has a ton inbound and will custom order what you want.

Hoffman's is taking orders, but I don't believe they have any in stock.

Jojo's has some inbound as well:

-- stripped anderson lowers

-- complete BCM lowers with sb3 braces

The gun store has the best selection that I’ve found so far. Ordered a Noveske n6 set along with a San tan set from them this morning. Here’s a photo of what they have to pre order.
Hoffmans has standard lowers and those are the only places I’ve been to so far.
As for what makes an other:
Overall length of 26”+
12.5”+ barrel
Foregrip that is vertical. Cannot be angled
Brace, not a stock
*edit to add can have flash hider and does not need to be pinned.
I’m sure there is more too it, but that is what I gather and I am no lawyer so take it for face value.

A brace that you can strap into.

I would NOT do an SBA3. Prior to CT opening the floodgates, ATF had made a "decision" about certain braces being compliant or not, nobody knows what actually came of it or what braces were getting called out, but the SBA3 is too much like a stock.

If you get a Shockwave, make sure you get the velcro and can strap in.

Make sure your barrels  are above 12".

There is currently no max.

Colt M4 overrun barrels are perfect at 14.5 inches - Don't get your brake pinned, just thread it on and call it a day. FN and Colt are good brands.

Faxon sells some at 12.5" in as well - 300BLK and 223 Wylde.

They're kind of picky about VFG's - Magpul, Bravo Company, Troy, DD, Tango Down makes a good one too. - Make sure it's NOT quick detach.

That's about it really.

Make sure your barrels  are between 12" and 16". I would not go above or below.

And to be clear - My issue is your complete and utter lack of effort.

I'm established in this field, I consult multiple attorneys. It's safe to assume that I have a tremendous grasp on what the law is in this space.

You offer no evidence to refute your claim other than, "you're wrong", "stop talking shit".

You have absolutely no idea if I'm right or wrong and put no effort into having a meaningful discussion what-so-ever.

That's my issue in and of it's entirety.

----

I just spoke to my attorney and there has been 1 change.

The 16" barrel maximum is no longer a thing.

It's a 12" minimum and that's that.

The only caveat is (according to him) they're now coming after you if it was designed to be shot from the shoulder.

So, I would most definitely stay away from the SBA3's personally. Which was said well before ANY of you mentioned a group-buy...

Otherwise, I'm going to edit previous posts since this has now changed.

So, with the Ohio ruling...How are they going to enforce making a "gun" if the lower receiver is no longer considered "a firearm" or "a gun".

I'd consult an attorney before moving forward, but at this point, I'd say you're good to go.

A user down a few threads down allegedly called SLFU and got the "okay" so, based on that, I'd say you're all set.

Not trying to be a “chooch” but I’m confused.  So, if you have an 80% lower you can machine it and build it into a compliant other only correct?  I assume this is only legit if you machined it before 10/19 right?  it would be a no go post 10/19.

Lower’s are no longer considered firearms?  Is this 80% only or did something happen when I was under a rock?  Again not being a tool.  I’m just trying to understand, I’m kind of lost here.

Serial numbers are optional.  This would make sense if it was machined before 10/19.  80% of any variety...AR lower, polymer 80 etc.  Post 10/19 serial numbers are mandatory.  At least that was my understanding.

For the record I have no plans on building anything in the future unless it’s on one of my reg’d lowers.  I’m just trying to stay on the same page with what’s going on.

Ap article has the least bias.

Ap article

To TLDR it - Your lower receiver no longer counts as a firearm or a gun.

It's not a firearm or a gun until the upper receiver is mated to the lower receiver.

So your ordering an 80% isn't regulated because there is no "ghost gun". It's not a firearm. It's nothing.

According to the 2nd circuit court, it's a hunk of metal with #'s on it. It's a paperweight UNTIL the upper and lowers are combined.

So...Who's to say you didn't machine it 8 months ago and "forget" about it in the back of your safe? Maybe you dropped it in a river...? Maybe you left it at JoeBob's house? Who knows.

Technically, you could register it tomorrow.

Now, we're not in that circuit, but the writing is on the walls which, is why (to my understanding) the lower change came about last week.

Lawyers are still trying to figure it out...Mine changed his opinion with the 16" barrel length, earlier this afternoon after conferring with other attorneys in the state. Dinosaurs could've been faeries tomorrow - Who knows.

Anything else I could add is going to be conjecture because nobody really knows diddly. So, that's where things are.

Its like the SBA-3 situation. My ATF agent warned me there was probably going to be an issue with the SBA-3s. We stayed away. My attorney says there will be an issue with them because you can move them at your whim. That was now 2 reasons why I stayed away. I try and pay that advice forward and get shit on relentlessly for allegedly "misinforming people". What I'm misinforming anyone of when I give advice as a firearm manufacturer is beyond me, but opinions are like assholes and clearly everyone here has one.

Yeah that's a load of bullshit. The SBA3 has been out for a while now and we have the SBA4 too.

Neither of them were the first to be adjustable by the user.

I never said it was. I offered a PERSONAL opinion based on the information I've received.

We designed our Other Weapon WITH Atf and SLFU. I took a different approach and stayed directly between the lines.

It was and is an informed decision for our product.

I have an account with SB - We sell the SBM4 direct. SB tactical are awesome people.

If I thought putting an SBA-3 on our product was the right way to go, it'd be there. I don't so, it's not.

You don't have to buy from me. You don't have to purchase what I say. I'm not God.

That being said, liability isn't on us anymore...As of Tuesday, I don't quite care what you do.

If the ATF randomly changes their mind next week - That sounds like a YOU problem.
