Why the FUCK do you need to be 21 to purchase a stripped lower receiver??! I was all excited to start my first build. Ordered an Aero stripped lower and was doing a bunch of research to find the best, most cost-friendly parts. Then, I hear that you must be 21+ to pick up a STRIPPED LOWER from an FFL. That is the dumbest fucking shit I have ever heard. I mean, what's preventing me from taking the lower off of my legally owned AR and slapping a short barrel on it? Literally nothing. Fuck this. Guess I'm either gonna have to wait half a year until I turn 21 or buy an 80% lower and figure out how the fuck to work with that.
Here is my obligatory gun image so this doesn't get taken down.
And yes, I know this is an Arby's you fucking 'tists.
Update: Thanks for all the advice and help. Just ordered two 80 lowers and a jig. Time to get to work boys.
Can you buy a lower already built as a rifle? More expensive but still you get a gat for cheap. I know PSA sells lowers already built out with rifle stocks.
Good luck man, once a billion years ago I was in your shoes not old enough to buy the treasures I wanted. It gets better.
Pretty sure you need to be 21 for that too. Are you talking about a complete lower? Like everything except for the upper, BCG, and charging handle? Palmetto says you must be 21 for that as well. It's ridiculous.
Also, thanks for the encouragement. I turn 21 relatively soon (but sadly after the election) so then I won't have to deal with this shit.
