I am in the process of planning my first AR, and I have been researching everything that I can find about AR's and their use, operation, and customization possibilities. I was looking at a website that offered a book that promised an AR build with NO PAPERWORK. hock.gif Is there any way? I'm not looking to be illegal nor try to get around our government regs, but I would like to know what this author had in mind. Any opinions?? |

Probably they are talking about building an AR from an 80% lower, which is a hunk of aluminum mostly shaped into the form of an AR lower, however you have to do some work yourself to finish it off so it is not considered a firearm. I talked to a rep from one of the aluminum foundries that makes AR lowers for sale to AR manufacturers, they well 80% lowers direct sort of as a sideline. He claimed that with their directions finishing an 80% lower is easy enough for someone with basic mechanical skills ie if you can fix your own snowblowers lawn mowers was the example he used. |

THANKS GUYS! I had never known or heard about an 80% lower.hinking.gif WOW. Been a member here for less than an hour, and already learned something valuable. Thanks again for the info. The thought of building a small collection of black rifles is exciting! (Just don't tell the wife)hair.gif |
 Trust me on this, once you get black rifle fever there is no such thing as a "small collection". It starts with one, and then you begin to customize and then you realize you need to have a varmint upper, and then then you realize that upper should have its own lower and then... you get the idea.

Hey highwayman I dis agree. I had a total of nine. I sold almost all of them to but a Colt RR M16. I have one semi auto AR left. I don't use it much. The 16 is so much more fun to shoot. If you have a big collection, I would recommend selling it all and buy a full auto. I don't regret it for a minute. scott |
I think you could do it with a drill press and a jig. Otherwise, you would at least need an indexable table to get the position correct for all the holes. I use a mini-mill so its easy for me. |
This is where I first learned about 0-80% ers back in 2001. Still cutting metal today. |
