    Default 80% lower Question

    If one were to buy and mill the pockets on an 80% lowers, but NOT drill the holes thru the side, would one be able to sell it like that without background check??

    I would believe that it's not an 80% anymore and not transferrable unless you did the BGC. But I'm just guessing!

    BCG required. If it was not, the people that sell 80% lowers would sell them that way. They would sell a LOT more of them

    Bad juju...

    Not only would a BGC be required, but you would also be required to be 07 FFL (manufacturing).

    80% lowers are just all around a bad idea. I have lost count how many I've worked on and found them improperly finished, improperly made from the factory, too soft an aluminum... Throw in one can't get the aluminum surface hardened by some sort of finish coating and you have a lower that's going to wobble out the holes in no time. Waste of money and time.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Don't do it. Not worth the hassle. I did one through Ares Armor in 2012 in SoCal. Had to trash it in 2015.

    If you agree with the ares armor coloring book you're ok.

    Every atf letter on the subject says it's a gun though.
