[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 80% lower question

Posted: 2/13/2013 4:08:01 PM EDT

Ive finished a few 80% AR lowers and I know I cant sell them but I want to give one as a birthday gift to a close friend.
Can I do that without getting either of us in trouble?

yes you can give it to him so long as he is not a convicted felon or any one that is not suppose to have a firearm

i believe that is a misconseption. You can not manufacture a firearm with the intent to sell. Nothing to stop you from transferring them after they are done

This.

And you CAN sell an 80% lower down the road, you just can't complete it with the intent to sell.

this is from the FAQ on Ares Armor

How the hell is this Legal?

Well its simple really. You are building the weapon yourself for your own personal use. This is legal under the Gun Control Act of 1968. This is on the ATF’s website under their FAQ page. You can see it here:http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/firearms-technology.html

We are not lawyers always do your own research!

Can I Build one as a gift to my wife or other family member?

No, If you build one and then give it to another person you are distributing it… This would be illegal.

Why not have your wife present and have her take the "lead" on the build?

That way she tecnically finished it.

On the safe side.

Invite the friend over and supervise him/her as they complete the receiver.

That sounds like the best way to handle it.. I have an extra 80% lower and he has been hinting around about learning to run my mill.

Thanks to all who replied.
