| Anyone making 80% lowers tweaked to HK dimensions? |
|
Quoted: STS had them at one time but stopped selling them due to leagle reasons For some reason they think that I you sell an 80% it has to be serialized and shipped to an FFL I'm not sure if that is correct but I haver not been following the 80% legal saga B/c of the ATF's frame & receiver rule, as an FFL they had to serialize their 80% receivers and only ship them to FFLs. That rule has now been thrown out. Anyone know where to find A1 80%? Early A2s? |

Early A2s? I know all of that but I did not know STS started to re-sell the 80% lowers again and I didn't see them on thier site |

Easiest way to tell an A1 from an A2 is the limited reinforcement of the buffer tube boss; early A2 has less reinforcement than today. |

Quoted: Yeah nah, when an AR 80% is $39, I’m not paying $700 for a HK That is a very pedestrian way to look at this issue 100s of companies sell AR 80% lowers made in a variety of ways – forged, billet and even composite, and they will work with 1000s of uppers Only a couple companies make HK “part” compatible lowers and buyers expect them to basically make a billet “machined” lower look identical to a forged lower in every aspect Until recently the companies that did offer them, only made very small quantities available and they resold on the secondary market for a premium price Can you run an AR-15 lower with and HK upper – for the most part yes But if you’re trying to clone and HK rifle there are very few options available |

The 416 - all the way back through the HKM4 - has always had the same rear buffer extension profile. |

Yes, hence my question earlier in the thread. |
