80% castings were to buy

I believe very little. The reason they are so popular in the states is because it is not classed as a firearm. I don't believe that is the case up here, although somebody may be along to correct me. If it has to be registered, then you may as well buy 100% one.

The reason they are so popular in the US is you don't need to tell anyone once you have finished it. Manufacturing non-NFA (NFA items being: SBRs, SBSs, Suppressors, Full-Auto etc) items for personal use is 100% legal and untraceable. However, in Canada we are required to register Restricted firearms when they reach a certain stage of production, and thus the motivation for building one yourself is very little. The "80%" receivers are 100% legal and unregulated in Canada, as they are simply chunks of metal, but the lack of industrious homegunsmiths results in very little supply being produced for their consumption.

I couldn't find any 80% receivers listed on the dlaskarms site. Are they even selling them anymore

Dlask used to sell SIG 228 cast partially finished frames that were leftovers from their manufacturing them . I believe they used to also sell a bunch of different % finished 1911 frames, from 0% forgings up to 80% ones. Sometimes you can buy a Norinco 1911 frame from the EE for $100.00 or so.
The problem with 'x%' completed receivers is that there is no approved guidebook for what can or can't be completed for it to be considered a firearm, other than it's ability to discharge a round.
One.
Doesn't matter if it blows up, if it fired one round, even if the RCMP had to duct tape things together to make it work. They don't often play fair.
One could make a '40%' lower that wouldn't accept a grip, or a mag, or even have the cross pin holes drilled for the upper, but could still discharge a round.
Just be careful of which 80% is completed when you purchase.
I have seen people trying to sell unfinished lowers with the auto sear cut in the fire control group pocket. Someone not knowing any better could buy one of those and upon completion and registration have it confiscated for being a prohibited.

It's actually a pretty simple process to register a firearm completed from an 80% receiver
Iirc dlask will sell you one that is already registered and serial numbered. Registered as frame/receiver only. You simply update the reggie info to complete firearm once yer done.
The rcmp requested dlask not sell 80% untraceable receivers a couple years ago. However, our laws do permit a liscenced individual to aquire, posess, complete and register home built firearms.
Speaking of which LOL I wouldn't mind picking up a 80% AR and or 1911 lower if anyone is looking to part with any

This reasoning has some limit. All you need to discharge a round is an upper with a complete BCG and a hand hammer. AFAIK, upper are unregulated as are hand hammer.
I would tend to agree with you.
Knowing the RCMP, they would classify your hammer as an AR15 lower
Just remember, if the 80% lower you wanna buy looks like the one on the right, you will likely have it confiscated upon registration. If it looks like the one on the left, you should be ok.
