No. i have never had any problems with having 80% builds i carry nothing extra. dont be scared. your not doing anything illegal. heck my 80%'s arent even coated they are just raw aluminum. I usually have to tell people its an 80% build.

youll be okay!

This comes up all the time. Some people like to keep a copy of the "assault weapon" flowchart to show that their bullet button or rimfire or whatever is sufficient. But in terms of the 80% lower there's nothing about it that screams "Look at me! I'm homemade!" unless you leave it totally sterile. If you want to take an extra step - have somebody engrave some kind of clip art logo and something that resembles a serial # it'll look nice and conveniently like every other AR around and will give a LEO something to type into a database if they ever get the urge.

Local ranges no, but I would be very hesitant to take out my 80's on BLMs. There just might be that one ranger that will harass and I honestly don't want deal with all that trouble.

Buy a set of letter/number stamping dies and put the verbiage the cops want to see. You don't have to register or anything, just have something the bulls like...

[aresarmorrusty]

i carry a copy of the gun control act of 1968.
most LE know about it. id say 60% of our sales are to LEOs!

[gun toting monkeyboy]

Are you guys serious? After this many years, you think that law enforcement doesn't know about 80% lowers? I really, really wouldn't stress about it. If you have followed the flow chart, there is no issue. And LEO that sees fit to confiscate your weapon will be giving you a public apology in no time flat once CGF talks to his supervisor. This really is a non-issue. And has been for some time. You don't need to mark your lowers. You don't need a serial number. All you need to do is comply with the AW laws, and you will be just fine.

BLM is my first choice in shooting range for my 80% raw alum lower as its my longrange 556. I am not worried the slightest bit of ranger rick coming out to see whats up because 1. everyone shoots out were i shoot and 2. i never see rangers out as far as i shoot.

I have never had a problem with law enforcement, im an honest law abiding citizen that knows i am in the clear (at least for now laws always subject to change) so i will take my 100% legal firearms (where it is legal) without fear of harassment.

Whatever makes you feel secure though.

I agree, although I haven't ventured to shoot on BLM yet, and it seems Hollister, which is local for me, doesn't allow firearms. At least per their web page it says,

"There are no BLM Public Lands administered by the Hollister Field Office within 150 miles of San Francisco that are publicly accessible for target shooting.".

I personally am more concerned about the local ranges, that's where a clueless LEO would be more likely to show up, or when transporting firearms to or from a range.

check my signature. Not required, but it could be helpful.

indeed the routine traffic stop from a very rare dim witted uninformed mounty would be sketchy carrying a bunch of un-serialised firearms. but if they are legally being carried and locked up w/ammo out of the area how would he even know they are undocumented? he wouldnt have a reason to check your weapons in the first place... would he? hahaha freaking stupid laws

Well, yeah, actually. Specifically there have been some recent posts about BLM rangers checking configurations and running serials who get very befuddled when the weapon doesn't have one.

What paperwork?
A receipt of purchasing the 80?
A promissory note from your mom swearing it is legal?

No papers is the advantage of a homebuilt firearm.

There has been tremendous growth in the popularity of 80% builds in California. We sell a large number of our 80% lowers to law enforcement officers. In the unlikely event of encountering an officer not aware of the legality of an 80% firearm, it's very doubtful that once he contacts his supervisor that there would still be any issue.

The bigger concern is that the build follows all other requirements such as installing a bullet button, no stock on pistol builds, 10 round magazine limit, etc. And yes, people still ask us if they need to use a bullet button on their AR builds...

Valid question, as they have the option of omitting the BB on a featureless build, no?
