widmn's thread about titanium uppers got me thinking. Would there be any legal issues if I wanted to have a machine shop make me a lower from scratch? That is to say, that I sit down and design a lower, then take them the CAD files and pay them to machine it for me? |
The 80% rule denotes the end user having to finish the recess for the FCG and drill all the holes for the pins right? |
I've never done so I'm not sure. I think it's all that and more, like threading the end for the reciever extension too. |
part in red isn't true, there is no limit on how many you can make a year. Don't believe me go to www.homegunsmith.com and do some looking around on there. If you do it you need to buy an 80% or less and complete it yourself (can't contract it out to be completed, you have to do it all). you do not need to put a serial number or any info on it, but it is probably a good idea to do so. The usual info goes on there Name Address SN Caliber ect |
All holes must be drilled (FCG, mag catch, buffer retainer) buffer tube tapped pistol grip screw tapped Depending on what % you get you may or may not need to mill the mag well, some come done already via EDM, others don't and you need to do that yourself www.homegunsmith.com forum and info here www.cncguns.com forum and AR15 receiver jig here www.tanneryshop.com 80% receivers and other types here go nuts. It's cheaper to buy a completed lower though. |

You can make as many firearms you want a year. Either from 80%, 20% or even block. Doesn't matter... BUT, you can not make with intent to sell. That changes things, must be a ffl to do so, and SN all guns/receivers. now i didn't see it mentioned above, but i do believe you can get a machine shop to do an 80% for you. It's the same as buying an 80%. You just have to drill the control pins, pivot and take down pins and ream/tap the buffer tube. |
