80% Lowers ?

[TexasPatriot1916]

This question will probably be a "DFQ" to most of you but for a person such as myself who knows nothing about this matter yet. I was hoping I can get an answer for the question.

Are 80% Lowers legal to Make,Own,Transport,Take To The Range ? Im talking AR-15 80%, 1911 80%, AK Reciver Flat, Old Mil Surp Parts Kits, ect...?

It's called a form 1 firearm.
Form 1 is an application to make and register a firearm.

yes, you can finish an 80% lower for an AR, 1911, etc. If you complete it in the proper configuration form 1 I snot necessary.

Form 1 is only required if you make a Title II weapon, and is irrelevant if it started as 80% or not.

OP gave no indication that was what he wanted to do.

That is a myth as long as its built with using it or owning it you are free to sell it down the line.

You just are not allowed to finish an 80% with the intent to sell it.

or if you want to sell it at a later date

Why is there so much Sarcasm cant I get a straight answer ? Is this not the proper way to learn things by asking questions even if they are DFQ's !!!

post #4 gave you a straight answer.

The only sarcasm I saw was your own -> "DFQ"

This is the internet its full of people with what they think is the correct info and spread it around like its gospel < I am guilty of this too>

If you want a real answer to a question that is mired in debate you should head to the batf web page and read the rules for yourself and decide what is correct or you may end up in Jail from listening to a bunch of arm chair quarterbacks.

I did not see any Sarcasm in any posts

Just a heads up for anyone interested in 80% lowers. A bill has been filed in the Texas legislature to require registration, background check, and engraving of a state issued serial number on any unmarked firearm. The bill is HB 38 and more discussion of the bill may be found here:
