Is someone trying to bankrupt forgers? Making a big order and then canceling it?

Probably more like something in one of these gun control bills made somebody nervous and wanted to get rid of some stock.

What does the 80% mean?

pby1000 ago

It is 80% finished, then you have to watch videos online to complete the remaining 20%. The steps you need to do are not that difficult for someone with average skills. There are a ton of videos available.

the lower is the part of the gun that is considered a "gun" by the government. other parts can be bought without any background checks or whatever. it is not regulated unless it is more than 80% created, and it is legal to make your own guns. so people can sell an 80% finished lower with no regulations, and the buyer can do the last 20% of the work by drilling, milling, filing, etc. and the final product is not on the radar of the government. you can not sell guns that you made iirc though; that is the only downside.

These would be called "ghost guns" by (((hollywood))) or liberals.

You can sell one, but if it looks like you're doing an unlicensed manufacturing business, they come after you.

But it's not, in and of itself, illegal to sell.

thank you for the clarification. I wonder if this is well defined, or if they could use it to go after someone (like the bundy thing).

clamhurt_legbeard ago

well defined

Nothing with the ATF is well defined. Their letters are not legally binding. They have a history of changing their minds. Short barrel shotguns are illegal without a tax stamp because the 2nd Amendment is for militia use, and no military uses short barrel shotguns. Oh, they do now? Who cares....

Bump stocks are legal jk no they're not.

Pistol braces aren't stocks, your AR pistol is fine....

But, the idea is you can sell your property, and you can make guns, just don't "manufacture and sell" without a license.

Ok thank you.

You have to find the other 20% on sale elsewhere.

Recyclops14 ago

No really, I'm not familiar with firearm parts. If you're being serious is there legality about the other 20% or are you just fucking with me?

Splooge ago

Goat above gave you a pretty detailed answer. Here's how I normally explain it.

Imagine you want a wheel, but it's illegal for someone to sell you one by mail. So they ship you an 80% wheel -- that is, it comes as a metal disk, solid through and through.

Obviously, in its current state, it's useless. You've got to remove about 20% of the thing before it can function as a wheel. So you get your handy dandy drill and take out 20% of the material, thus converting it into a functional wheel.

You can now install your axles and gears and all of the stuff that makes a wheel useful.

Does that help?

for your own personal use its legal. If you sell it your in deep shit.
