the result is a lethal weapon that’s free from background checks, waiting periods, serial numbers, or any other government involvement. So how it should be anyways? |

I'd be tempted to do an 80 lower but all I have is a dremel and a shitty harbor freight drill press. Pretty sure I'd mess it up.

Some of those "plastic" lowers have been lasting for 300 or more rounds at a time. Plenty enough for a couple of fights. If it breaks, oh well, fall back, pull out a spare lower and rock on. Or, pick up the bad guys guns and use his. |
