Anyone making 80% lowers tweaked to HK dimensions?

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?

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.

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

That’s fine
The market will speak
I’m just not a buyer at $700
I’d prefer non anodized, non engraved, basic bitch for $200

Is it possible you are referring to standard AR lowers?  The 416 - all the way back through the HKM4 - has always had the same rear buffer extension profile.

I'm sure most people that read what you posted earlier thought you meant HK A1 / A2 lowers, since this topic is in the HK foru m and is about HK 80% lowers
