| I need some options on a low cost either stripped or complete lower. I doing a budget build. I have the upper complete and I am looking for the lower. |

Surplus ammo and arms from aim is cheapest http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1SASL&name=Surplus+Arms+%26+Ammo+LOW15+Stripped+AR+Lower+Receiver&groupid=53 Next cheapest, LRB from Wideners http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=8913&dir=700|863|1068 Then there's a few others at $79, like a spike's, PSA and Aero |
| Well your gun dealer does not know local laws very well. I live in Kansas and you can purchase long guns rifles & shotguns in any neighboring state. I am not sure what is in the Kansas city area but in Sedalia Mo. You can get a stripped lower from Black Dawn for $109.00 they do not list it on their web site but you can give them a call or if you come out to Hays KS you can pick up a spikes lower for $79.95 at JoeBob If you buy from JoeBob he does not charge a FFL fee. Its just $79.95 plus tax. |
| I live on the KS side and go to the MO shows all the time, we can't buy a stripped lower in MO because it can be made into a pistol, there is no requirement that a receiver be marked pistol anymore. but what gets me is that the lowers were complete with a sliding stock assy,hence they were built as a rifle,even if they did not have an upper assy. pinned on. grey area? |

He had stripped lowers for sale that he was selling as "other" so they can be built either way. He also had complete lowers with a stock. That is what I tried to purchase. He told me he would not sell it to me because it was an other. My brain did not work fast enough to tell him, that he had made them rifle lowers by adding a stock. He can now sell it to me as a rifle. I didn't want to argue with the guy over his own business. |

A rifle is a firearm meant to be fired from the shoulder. A completed lower without an 16" barreled upper ever being attached to it, Is not a rifle. I would have to disagree with having the upper attached part. I have bought many a lower from across state lines with a buffer tube and stock attached that were sold to me as a rifle. I am sure that a company as big as the one I bought them from this way wouldn't have risked selling me something else. Also I am pretty sure the ATF only classifies the lower as the rifle, nothing to do with a 16" upper. |

I don't know why I put 16 " .
Have you bought one in the last couple of years, things change, A assembled lower is not a rifle until any barreled upper is installed, You can't shoot a lower, it needs an upper. If you have a lower with a stock and you put a completed upper on it, It becomes a weapon designed to be fired from the shoulder. Either a rifle or a short barreled rifle if the barrel is under 16". |

Not affiliated with these guys in any way but for $99 you can have a complete built lower ready to go. Been out to their shop and got to see it in action. This is made of polymer not a fiber filled glass composite like other brands on the market. Plus they are an industry partner here.

I had a plum lower and had zero problems, I sold it to a friend for his first build. |

I had a plum lower and had zero problems, I sold it to a friend for his first build. First thing I asked. From what I got from them was, it is a similar mold, but using a new material and it takes all standard " mil spec " type parts ( LPKs receiver extension, ) It is not affiliated with Plum Crazy in any way. |
