How can these be so cheep? And how can they be sold without a ser#? It must be due to the fact that they are only 80% finished that they dont need a ser#?
 
The ATF doesnt consider them finished until the FCG holes are in place and the pocket milled out. So they are basically a paper weight. If you finish it its considered a home built firearm. Home built firearms are not required to have serial #'s. the ATF recomends it in case they are stolen. You can put anything you want on it. You can even build a AR pistol from one. They can be easily finished with a drill press and a mill bit.
 
Unfortunatly things may change on the 80% lowers due to the latest shooting in California ... Aparrently the shooter obtained his AR platform via the Internet that involved the purchase of a 80% lower... Hang on fellas here we go AGAIN!!!!!
 
Agree with you 100% he had mags that were over California law and so on... But my concern is with the area of components... Giving liberal law makers an agenda to start outlawing, registering separate parts needed to bring a 80% lower or any lower to proution... Point being this individual was able to order a 80% lower via internet then proceed from there... In liberal minds this will be prossued and prostituted to the hilt!!! Not good for the law abiders...
 
Here's something I saw earlier today on that.

Disclaimer: This article will discuss the process of completing an AR-15 80% lower with common tools found in most hardware stores. A provision in the Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C, Chapter 44 states that an unlicensed individual can make a firearm for personal use, but not for the intent of sale or distribution. Said firearm must conform to N.F.A standards and you must be legally able to be in possession of a firearm. Should you desire to create a Short Barreled Rifle or a Machine gun the BATFE is going to require additional paperwork. If down the road you desire to sell your rifle you will have to put a serial number on it and transfer it via a Federal Firearms License holder. If you never intend to transfer or sell the firearm it must be destroyed upon you giving up possession of the firearm. Granted this is the generally accepted translation of 18 U.S.C, Chapter 44 you should still check local and Federal laws before attempting to build your own personal firearm. Technically you can sell a rifle you have made but you cannot simply make a rifle then immediately decide to turn around and sell it.
 
You can will it to a family member upon your death, or give it to a friend. Anything over a .50cal is considered a destructive device and is a no no. The 12ga FH is still considered a shotgun. If you have any questions call the ATF they are nice people and will help any way they can.
