    Holy crap, i got on this forum cause i figured people would actually be able to help a fellow Texan gun lover find information that i couldnt find myself. I completely 100% do not understand the info behind the things that ive asked and just wanted to learn about it! I am a college kid just trying to get more into the world of guns!

    Yea and i appreciate it. i was trying to get more of the whole scope if you get what i mean. like i have a good idea of what they are but was just wanting to know more like what is the 80% thing and stuff. i literally know glimpses of it due to there being like zero info on google. This forum just looked like it had members that would be versed in it and able to help a learner out.

    Not to be rude, but capitalization can be your friend! If you're on tap-talk or whatever else, well, good luck. If you will go search for "polymer80" you'll get a whole raft of info. Just a thought.

    there is a crap ton of info out there about 80% lowers, so I aint buying the whole, "was just wanting to know more like what is the 80% thing"& "i literally know glimpses of it due to there being like zero info on google"...you are a "college kid" aint ya? Also, if you do stick around and are legit, like Charlie said......."You can't be too thin skinned around here". If yer gonna stick around head on over to the Introductions Thread and let us know a little about you, it's a good way to meet some of the forum members.....Hell you already got yer baptism by fire here in your thread.....it's all gravy now:evil:

    I just typed "80 percent lower" in google chrome. Then clicked the drop down that added "legal".

    It brought up numerous threads and blogs describing exactly what they are and how it works.

    Why won't you post an introduction?

    If you did, and you actually hung around and met some people you could learn a ton here.
