the low shelf lets you use a registered drop in sear or lightlink link.

The "shelf" is the area inside the rear of the lower reciever just under where the rear take-down pin connects. A "low shelf" reciever allows for the use of DIAS (Drop In Auto Sear) Assembly. A REGISTERED DIAS assembly, is the only LEGAL way to "make" a fully automatic AR15. Buying A REGISTERED Drop In Auto Sear Assembly costs about as much as buying an actual M16, and requires the same paperwork/taxes.

I know that these are low shelf, Bushy, DPMS, Ameetec and my old Colt SP2. There may be a couple more, maybe somebody else can add to the list.
