[Robmcleod82]

He's not looking for the raw forgings, he is looking for an 80% completed forging. As in almost a lower receiver but not quite.

 

[dweenz]

so what state are the forgings at? still require full machining? I asked this same question a while ago the only places i found were in the US.

 

[8 ball]

Yes, the forgings are what they call a 0% lower. All machining required.

80% lowers are an American thing. There is no such thing in Canada and the CFO's have decided they are illegal.

 

[Robmcleod82]

when did they decide that? That must be why dlask no longer has them on the site. Did they make them a prohibited device? they arnt a firearm so Im not sure how they would have made them illegal

 

[Power Pill]

I defiantly remember seeing them on dlask

they are not making anymore till fall . they are eather a reciever or not . a 80% is not a reciever as it cannot be made to fire as is

When did the CFO get the power to make a law?

 

[rivetc78]

80% are not Illegal. CFO's don't write the criminal code

Hmm...Dlask sold 80% AR15 lowers up untill at least a month ago. I know cause I was looking at them. However, I cannot find them on their site anymore....

Now, they haven't sold 1911 80% frames in years. I called Dlask and asked if they would be selling them in the future and the lady said "No, they won't let us sell the 80% anymore, only the 60%"

Her words, not mine. And I never asked who "they" refered to. Yet at the time they were still selling 80% AR15 lowers, so why a 1911 80% would be a "no no" and an AR 80% would be "ok" is beyond me.

I don't believe this. Source? And for what it's worth Dlask called them 80% receivers.

 

[Armedsask]

I'm going from memory but I do recall the CFO's making it difficult to sell 80% lowers. Basically threatening to shut down guys who were doing it.

I am aware the CFO's don't make law. That hasn't stopped them in the past.
