AR Lower thread

[darkcrave]

I'm not sure if this has been asked before.

If I purchase a AR Lower, epoxy it basically to a 80% is it still considered an 80%

[CouchOperator]

It would be an AR lower filled with epoxy. Personally i recommend cement just to be sure!

[darkcrave]

Would that technical be an 80? Lol

[baih777]

No.
80% has to be manufactured in that configuration. That's why they need to get a determination later from the BATF.

ATF has said that not even a manufacturer can do that. In order to make it no longer a firearm you need to destroy it in an ATF approved manner.

[jimbo74]

you can make an 80% lower into a 100% lower

you can't make a 100% lower, an 80% lower


are you talking about buying an 80% lower, milling it out, and then filling it with epoxy to create an 80% lower again?

What are you trying to do?

[81Degrees]

Don't bother with the 100% lowers, they're a waste of time filling in all those extra holes. Get an 80% and put your own holes in it wherever you want. I like using 165gr 9mm bangers.

Nope other companies have tried. ATF said once a lower, only way for t not to be a lower is to destroy it in an ATF approved manner.

I had the idea of filling the FCg pocket with glass or candle wax. Then I did research and learned it's a no go

They don't even let manufacturers start with an insert the shape of what you can remove and then cast the rest of it around there...
