Why the fuck would I pay $420 niggerbucks for a plastic gun
>polymer lower
The $80 lower is much more expensive than the real forged aluminum lower from Palmetto State Armory or Anderson which can be had for about $40. In my state you don't have to register the AR-15. You go through a non specific background check for a firearm. The FBI doesn't know if I am buying a shotgun, revolver, or AR-15 receiver. I bought mine with cash. Buying a kit online will leave an electronic trail that still lets anybody investigating you know you have an AR-15.
Skip the shitty polymer lower and just get a real forged lower if you live in a non-cuck state
the bullet would probably dissemble backwards
The price of that lower is absurdly expensive. I remember seeing packs of 4 for $130 last Christmas. Does anyone have a link to cheaper lowers?
Gunbroker is the Ebay of guns. Armslist is the craigslist of guns.
I'll admit there are cheaper means to the end. This was just the simplest route. Feel free to hunt a deal, but there's always Armslist.
Because it comes with its own jig. When you mill out an aluminum 80% lower you have to buy a jig for it which is like $90 on its own. Although it can be reused, unlike the Polymer 80 one.
The only reason to go with the polymer lower is to skip the background check. If you aren't afraid of the background check just get a real metal one for cheaper.

Simple, but brilliant and superior, tbqh.
>The only reason to go with the polymer lower is to skip the background check
Is that really legal?
>this part that doesn't actually receive extreme force must be made from metal t. boomer
We know, we know: they don't make a .46
Please die so there's a little social security left for the rest of us.
Do you even know your own state's gun laws?
It is 100% legal to manufacture your own home made firearm. You cannot sell it though. The lower receiver is the only part considered the "firearm" by the authorities. Every single other part is just a piece of metal that can be ordered through the mail with no background check. So if you make the lower receiver yourself then you built your own firearm from scratch according to the way the law is defined. But you need a license to manufacture and sell firearms.
You are glowing, nigger!
I live in NJ, which has such ridiculous requirements I haven't even bothered to try. Just wondering why a lower in a different material would make it legal.
>So if you make the lower receiver yourself
Oh, so the thing OP is describing isn't a completed lower?
It is absolutely legal to make your own lowers. A spook would be trying to convince people to make them and distribute them. That would be illegal. But making one for yourself is absolutely legal unless you live in a cucked place that specifically has banned it.
These home made lowers are the "ghost guns" that leftists are so afraid of.
It's an 80% lower.
I see. So why bother with polymer? Just because it's easier to drill?
God damn it go back to faceberg you retarded fuck
You make the lower yourself, that is the only part that is considered the firearm. Then you buy a kit that has every single other part of the gun. Neither require a background check. You assemble the gun yourself which is quite easy. The most difficult part is some of the smaller detent pins that are spring loaded. If you slip the tiny metal detent shoots across the room, bounces off a wall, and you spend 45 minutes on your hands and knees cussing looking for it. Any idiot can do it.
>In my state you don't have to register the AR-15. You go through a non specific background check for a firearm. The FBI doesn't know if I am buying a shotgun, revolver, or AR-15 receiver.
If you buy any firearm through an ffl the atf knows the serial number, make, model, and classification.
Private sales require no paperwork or background checks in most states and neither do 80% lowers, which is why OP recommended this one.
You can sell firearms youve made. You just cant make it with the intention of selling it
According to a post in this thread, that one comes bundled with a jig.
You can sell it. You cannot make it with the intent to sell it and you must properly serialize it prior to transfer.
Just so people know I paid $59 after sales tax and transfer fee from my local licensed dealer for my PSA lower. Much higher quality than some plastic lower you have to make yourself for $80.
I think it was $40 for the lower, $15 transfer fee, and $4 in sales tax.
This. with the atf, its all about intent.
What happens if I try to buy a gun but fail the background check? Do I get put in Guantanamo Bay?
Ughh i wanna shoot that. Looks so smooth n ergonomic. Comfy.
Easier to mill, and if it's a decent one it'll last just fine.
About 2 years ago you could find completed upper for $180 with BCG and CH, And tack on like $90 for the lower parts kit and buffer tube etc... Then you just needed an 80% lower, which you could find for like 30 bucks.
Plus shipping would've come out to 320 or 330 dollars or some such for a complete AR15 mailed to your house (after you milled it and put it together).
Are those days behind us now forever?
You'll simply be denied. Then you get into blackpowder mail-order rifles and 80% lowers and frames.
What a fucking trash rod.
Horrible advice. Kys
>When you mill out an aluminum 80% lower you have to buy a jig for it which is like $90 on its own
You don't really have to. If you have some scrap and a vice lying around you can make a makeshift jig if need be. You can find a used router for like 30 bucks.
It has a short survey you take and asks you some basic questions about criminal history and citizenship. It you don't lie on those answers then you will be fine. They will tell you if you are OK to proceed. If you are not eligible then you will know and should not even go forward with actually filing the background check.
You only get in trouble if you lie and try to knowingly go through with the check even if you are not eligible.
Basically if you are old enough, do not have any felonies, and are a legal citizen you are good to go.
99% of the time nothing happens.
The meme-tier weakness vs aluminum is not worth the 1lb weight savings.
No you can still build a decent AR for under $400. But I would rather spend $600-800 and get a nice one. The extra $200 will be the difference between a OK one and one you can bet your life on.
It's not even 1 lb. An aluminum forged lower weighs about 8 oz AKA 1/2 a lb. So even if the plastic was weighless you would only save 8 oz. You probably save about 4 oz or 1/4 lb.
>not making your own
0/10
Would be interesting to see someone do a comparison between the cheapest they could scrounge vs a high end. Obviously the high end will have a better trigger, be lighter, etc, but as far as malfunctions and the like go, I'd be curious.
>IDstamp
eh. unconventional but effective
carry on
Even bottom of the barrel ARs these days almost never malfunction. The difference in price is mostly from reduced weight, increased modularity, increased accuracy, and brand prestige.
>Buying cheap PSA parts
>Choosing an expensive polymer lower
>Not just getting a cheap PSA all metal lower
Where the hell did you pull that lower out of, your ass?
The accuracy would be good to see too. I see videos of budget AR15's vs DD or whatever, but they're still 700 dollar rifles. I want to see the absolute cheapest.
... Because I built the absolute cheapest. For kicks.
It's run fine so far... Can't speak to the accuracy because ranges are crowded and annoying where I live so I usually just go out to the 50 yard because it's the only one ever open and plink cardboard boxes... Which is fun and all, but I miss living in the sticks.
Looks like the fucking anti-drone rifle
My $340 PSA upper and kit including flip sights with an Anderson lower functions perfectly fine. I also use pmags gen 2 and 3. I did clean it properly and fired about 150 rounds through it before cleaning it again. Some people skip those steps and assume they work right out of the box with no extra work on their end.
Waiting for the $220 kit missing rear sight to happen again. I want to make one under $300. Currently though purchasing is through the roof because of the NZ thing so sale may be 2-3 weeks from now.
