> i dont know if anyone responded i just saw your post, you have to be very careful with building your own ar. the lower has to be registered with the feds and state before you can build it. you can be busted by the atf if you are found to be manufacturing weapons without a permit or anything being registered. just you know before you do anything.

When you by a lower in NYS is has a serial number on it. You cant buy one and have it shipped to you. The lower is treated as a firearm and has to go through someone with an FFL which does the swift background check and paper work. what your stating is if you where machining your own lower without and FFL for manufacturing. Other the the lower housing anything else is fair game.
