80% rifle lowers and handguns

(1/1)

eblevin:
I just stumbled into these recently (https://www.rainierarms.com/polymer80-spectre-80-pistol-frame-pre-order) and wondered if these are legal in Nebraska? I would have to get a drill press and familiarize myself with this kind of construction, would likely just buy the old fashion way but it is interesting. Just seems like a gray area to me, not exactly illegal, not legal, a gun made in your garage or shop, no background check, just put together like you would a bike or toy. Sorry I'm not trying to be offensive, just wondering if anyone knows the legality of this and if you can actually do this?

RobertH:
They are legal as long as you do the work on your own pistol.  I've done two 80% AR lowers.  Other members have done 80% as well.  Buy it and let us know how it turns out.

There is no gray area. An 80% lower is not a firearm. As soon as you start making it, it becomes a firearm. Attempting to finish lowers for others and making them for sale is against the law.
