Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Is an 80% lower a legal AR pistol lower?

There different rules for selling pistols and rifles. When a mfg sells a firearm such as a stripped lower they have to spec it as a pistol or a rifle so the buyer and the seller can follow the correct procedure. That means rifle lowers can't be built into pistols. Pistol lowers can be built into rifles thought they are treated by the law as pistols.

You can build pistols and rifles from 80% lowers. I think you need to mark them as either a pistol or a rifle an the law will treat them as such.
