Anyone hosting "build parties" for completing an 80% lower?

[SAnd]

Now I'm curious... Are there registration steps that need to be taken when you finish milling the Ares 80?

You have to list the date you completed it, a serial number you made up, your name and address, your birth day (not date), and a statement you can legally possess a firearm on organic unbleached paper. Next you must thoroughly wet it with hot bacon grease, let it cool, then entrust it to your best friend (your dog) for safe keeping. You can borrow a best friend if you don't have one currently.

Seriously, as Jim said above, there are no laws requiring registering a homemade gun in Colorado or at the federal level right now. You don't have to put any markings on them either. Except the way I read it the cartridge chambering must be marked on the gun. That can be on the barrel, it doesn't have to be on the receiver.

Have a Good Day.

there is NO REGISTRATION ON GUNS IN CO, NONE. Stop using the #$%^ term on this board.

Well that escalated quickly...[coffee]

Had I known that I can fashion a ballistics chunker out of sticks and glue and not tell anyone... Ida done it a while ago. (Maybe not, but f^#* punkin' chunk in')

Just another quick (prob ignorant) question... Are there caliber restrictions? (can I build a Sherman tank?) or do I have to abide by all of the normal civilian rules? (Sbr, class3)

-signed, just curious

No escalation only refuting what you and others seem to think are "requirements" In Co regarding firearms. The caliber restrictions would be governed by what magazine you are able to lock in the mag well. So an ar will accomodate, 5.7,. 223/5.56, 7.62x39, 5.45x39 . 300 blk, 410 etc

Hi Everyone-
im new here as well and was considering ordering a 80% complete lower. If it's still possible. Was anyone able to locate a machine shop that will help in the completion of the lower, here in Colorado? Thanks for any help.

I would be in for one of these as well - this is what has always kept me from buying an 80%, because I know I'm too lazy to find anyone with a machine shop to cut it out correctly.

I have 5 Billet80 lowers on order and should arrive within about 2 weeks. May be looking for a build party also. Rumor has it that a friend of a friend owns a shop that we can use but don't know for sure yet.

Still waiting on mine to get in... But I'm not surprized.

I've got 2 Billet80s that shipped today. And a jig. Where's the party?

[rbeau30]

Still waiting for mine. I ordered mine around the time RevTracy did from the same manufacturer. Probably around April I guess.

I think my 5 billet80's shipped on Friday. I also ordered the jig. Hope to receive this next week and then a quick trip to engraver before trying to do machining.
