THREAD HAS EXPIRED.

[Mossy Man]

Since its an 80% doesnt that mean "you" manufactured it, and hence made in the USA?

[tal3nt]

Makes sense. I more or less just used imported aluminum, right?

[AKSOG]

Even in the long shot that the receiver was not considered US made under 922R due to the origin of the 80%. There is probably nothing else on the whole rifle that is foreign made so it's a non issue.

[tal3nt]

But the way it currently sits..

I'll hurry up & throw an lpk in it just for fud

[kalieracer]

Technically even 0% forgings are considered ITAR items and are not supposed to be imported or exported. So I am not sure how these are gonna work out of china.

[bigbob76]

Too much thinking going on here. Everybody stay calm, try decaf

[LMTluvr]

Who cares?
Keep calm and CNC on.

[tal3nt]

Haha, I think you're right Bob. It's a non issue. And about the decaf

[BrassCase]

China is selling us the parts to repel the invasion

It is just a casting until it is worked on. Then it becomes a US made part since it was completed here.

Not sure if 922R applies to AR's but a Polish AKM 80% receiver is *technically* a US made part upon completion and counts as one US part.

Forging /= casting. Different.

Doesn't change anything. I believe the rule is "No more than X controlled parts can be foreign", and X is like 7? So adding American parts changes nothing. It would be fine in that sense.

It would be an issue to import a barrel or receiver. But I think 80% is ok, as noted the foreign AK flats. I'm not sure if the threshold on the receiver is different for this purpose than it is for the "Is it a gun or not" purpose. I think the rails and flats are different imports, but that might not be true, and it might just be a coincidence.

Be it forging or casting its still just a chunk of aluminum.

It would be wise to not always think that all laws treat everything the same.

For instance, constructive possession will probably never be usable in your favor.
