How old do you have to be to legally build an 80% lower. Also are their different age requirements for say a rifle and a pistol. I'm very new to owning firearms. And I intend only to follow the law. I'm currently 19 years old.

You have to be 21 years old in order to legally purchase a pistol. -

As long as you build the 80% into a rifle your fine.
The law states that if your under 21 you can not purchase a handgun. But you can own one. I.E. your parents gift you one. That being the law, you can not legally purchase a lower as it can be turned into a pistol.
However, an 80% is not a firearm, there for there is no age restriction on the chunk of metal.Last edited by NorCalFocus; 12-22-2016, 6:33 PM.Comment

I believe the age is indeed 18 to build a rifle.
A usage note: Calguns members are seldom lawyers, and practically no one will offer something called 'legal advice' on line. If you really need legal advice, there's a whole profession of licensed people who will be happy to take your money.
But anyone might happen to know the specific law that might apply to a situation, and pointing a questioner to the Penal Code or other law, saying 'Well, here the law says ...' is something we do fairly often.
As it happens, '80%' lowers are utterly uninteresting to me personally, and I just can't keep the info in my head. There is, however, a sticky thread on the topic in the 'How CA Laws Affect Me' forum, and that may be useful to you.ARCHIVED Calguns Foundation Wiki here: http://web.archive.org/web/201908310...itle=Main_Page
