80% Lowers?

[guess_kto]

80 % lowers are now prohibs? Or are they still restricted? How about 70% lowers, or 0 % lowers, i.e. a forging?

Status technically unknown, but no idiots to test it. RCMP made a decision one day that they are prohibited. So, nobody would import them or talk about it. Hot potato made of lava.

the only definition of an 80 % receiver I can find is the U.S. based A.T.F. I can not find an R.C.M.P. based definition. My understanding is Canadian Customs stopped importation of them.

Pretty sure they won't pass the border.

Even if they don't, easily done with simple to source goods.

At one point, for a very short period of time they were NR and were't serialized. That was stopped real fast. Don't ask if anyone owns any of these!

It wasn’t a short period of time. These were available for years. RCMP arbitrarily reclassified as prohib as they were “easily modified” to full auto which is ludicrous. It’s much easier to modify a 100% lower.

Some were showing up in the hands of criminals and obviously weren’t registered.

Do they not need a ruling on why they will not green light importation?

Would the RCMP then not need to define what it is they are restricting?

Well yes, but actually no.

Welcome to the police state comrade.

Fair enough. Can we not get the Judicial system to force them to create a definition?

Sure, just tell the cops you’re sitting on a crate of 80% lowers and see if they take the bait.

Any 80%'s not glock/1911/ar's?

It's all I can find and I would love to explore the other plentiful options 'out there'

I think Dlask had Sig 228 kits about 10 years ago.
