Dlask 80% AR lowers

I've never built one, but I did a 0% build of my own design.

That being said, the hardest part is getting the thing registered. Its been over a year and mine is still just sitting there waiting for them to get back to me.
 
I've been wondering about this too. I have access to a machine shop. Problem is there isn't a way to buy one from him through his website.
 
It doesn't look like there is much to machine. Might be as little as a few hole locations. Anyone confirm this? thanks.

It looks like the trigger groups holes are not drilled (trigger, hammer, sear, etc), if that picture is accurate. Having the ability to have the trigger group installed is what makes it legally a firearm, I think.

Its a cake walk if you buy the jig (I think someone had one listed in the EE). If you can accurately drill and tap, then you will have zero trouble with the build. The hardest part will be finding somebody to hard anodize it.

Once it's drilled, it's then a restricted firearm, correct? It that point you can't take it anywhere but your house or the range, legally. Do guys drill it first or anodize it first? I can get stuff anodized through my work, we send out aluminum regularly for anodizing and hard anodizing.
 
Here is one of those drilling jigs, they ship to Canada:

well the big issue is its a soft casting and not a forgeing.
Ihave had my hands on a few of them and the specs are way of , some up to 40thou different to other castings.
remmber this if you make more then one the nthe RCMP will make you get a Manufacturing lic, but the ontario CFC will not give it to you.
The other issue is the RCMP letting you register it.
Last gun that did it hear , the rcmp made him send the lower to them for testing and verifing.
took him 5months to get it back.

dont bother, heard from a guy over PM who did it, total pain in the ass and if you mess up one hole u just spent 200 bucks for nothing. he said totally not worth it.
 
From what I see - drill for: trigger/hammer pins, bolt stop pin hole, front takedown pin and retainer, rear takedown pin, buffer retainer, tap the buffer tube, mill out the area between the front takedown pin...not exactly a cakewalk!

Its all relative. Someone with a complete machine shop, the jig and experience will have it pretty easy compared to someone building one with no jig, a hand drill and a file.

Making an AR lower may not be economically feasible, but building guns can be just as fun as shooting them :D
 
Anyone know about getting one from the US? Is it considered a "gun part" over $100 or "major component" and requires the import process?
