Hello,

I believe I was reading this site a while ago when I came upon a link to a web page that shows you how to build your own lower receiver.  It had pics and instructions and did not look pretty but it worked.  I tried to use the search feature but it only goes back 30 days.  Does anyone have this link?  

Thanks

I think I know which one you're talking about, but I don't have the link.

Try over in the Build It Yourself forum.  One of them probably has it.

Here's a link where you can purchase 80% receivers: [url]www.tanneryshop.com/[/url]

Since these are not full receiver, you do not need to have an FFL to buy em. Also, if I am not mistaken, the ATF allows you to mfg one firearm for personal use without having to have a license.

Thanks for the help!

It's simply impossible - pure poppycock - only a complete fool would think that with some drill bits and a hand file or two he could build a complete functioning AR-15 lower.

(It really is nearly that easy [;)])

Following LT's link, I got to this thread:
[url]www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=148435[/url]

It's a list of different home build links.

Velveeta, I thought you were referring to this bolt together lower:
[url]www.geocities.com/elmgrove1765/project6/project6.html[/url]

Ugly as sin, but kinda cool at the same time. [:)]

I have to apologize.   Until I read the sites I did not know that the 80% project was what I was looking for.  


Thanks to everyone.  I also would like to point out that if I was a Fed I would be browsing from work on your dime! http://www.geocities.com/elmgrove1765/project6/rxvr18.jpg

Yeah!  That is the one.  I think it has such a "cool factor".  I think it is so ugly it looks good.

Hey, Velveeta.

Didn't know Bushmaster started selling lowers without serial numbers or Dealer Records Of Sales. Might make it worth it buying from them then [:D]

80% lower = $98
Jig and tools = $400

Having an AR lower receiver not on paper = priceless!
