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.
Yup just ordered the complete kit from 5D with both a AR15 and AR10 80% lower. Broke the bank but probably worth the investment. My grandpa has a DeWalt router and he said he'd help me out with machining the lower since he knows power tools like the back of his hand and I have virtually no experience with them.
One month lead time for shipping and handling though which really sucks.
Atta boy
It's suggested to get two, because you will screw the first one up. You got this.
Yeah good call dude. The gov was infringing on your rights, and you found a legal way to circumvent the red tape and do it anyway, while producing lowers they can't track. I love a happy ending.
Not just a happy ending, but a goddamn American one.
Well, a true American ending would be me buying a fully auto m16 and having it shipped straight to my door, but I'll take this for now.
