I am sending you to Maryland hometown. You will meet many interesting and wonderful folks who will help you figure out the new laws in that state and what exactly is allowed in terms of 80%. Make sure you confirm everything you are told as ignorance does not equal innocents.

Well, it's legal to posess, but milling it out and making a rifle would not be advisable after 10/01/2013. Since there is no identifying information engraved/stamped on the receiver, who knows when it was made? and, there's the rub...... |

TacticalMachining.com. I also recommend their jig sets. Very good quality components.
CNCGuns.com is a good resource for plans/dimensions if "your buddy," who presumably lives in another state, wants to finish them. If "your buddy" doesn't have access to a machine mill and doesn't care to try his luck with an aluminum 80% with a Dremel (it can be done, but requires mucho patience), I'll also recommend the Polymer 80 products. They're sold directly at polymer80.com, or through Ares Armor (which is a good company, good people, involved in their own legal battle and could deffinitely use your/our support). Finishing those is much easier, but the polymer lower is somewhat weaker than aluminum. But, for half the price, assuming "your buddy" just wants a light use rifle, it may be worth considering. Finishing info can be found here (no embed; the video description contains even more useful info): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxcSlOVeXlQ |

I've made more than half a dozen of them since 1999.
I like the 80% Arms lowers. Pretty clean and sharp. 98% of the difference is the user's input. My first few were functional but sure not pretty! The last few are beautiful and are my go-to weapons. It might pay if you buy a "second" to practice on and then graduated to a clean lower. |

Since there is no identifying information engraved/stamped on the receiver, who knows when it was made? Paper trail. If ordered online, Id assume you'd use a credit card. Therefore, it doesn't matter when it was made because you would have taken possession of it after Oct. 1, 2013 I can imagine that if you'd went out of state and bought one with cash, there would not be any evidence to prove you've committed a crime. That's still treading on thin ice seeing as a gun with no serial numbers in a place like Maryland is a magnet for questions from authority who give a damn. But hey, heroin and meth is illegal too and there's still plenty of people buying, using, and not getting caught with that. |
