I want to understand what you guys are talking about because you seem really excited but I have no clue, really. I mean, yeah, I have guns but I'm assuming you're buying some kind of "some assembly required" kits or something?

I'd not only need the parts but need to also get some tools.

Correct. It's possible to complete an 80% lower with nothing but a drill press and a few bits. There are even metal templates that can be bolted on the the 80% lower that make it possible to complete with just a normal drill and bits, but I'd wager that's harder.

I assume that you might be able to save money.

If you own the tools, yes you might save a few bucks (if you ignore what your time is worth). Besides the sense of accomplishment, the appeal probably has more to do with owning a firearm that the feds have no record of. Again, check your laws to be sure, but there's no law that I know of which prevents you from manufacturing your own gun for your own personal use. On the other hand, selling or transferring such a weapon would be a huge fucking felony.

Thanks, by the way.

Happy to help. Be safe, and check those laws.

Well this is actually a grey area, albeit a very dangerous one.

One may not produce a firearm FOR sale. This is known as manufacturing. If you produce one for your own use and sell it at a later point that may not be classified as unlicensed manufacturing. Again, it's a grey area and one must proceed at their own peril.
