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 wouldn't bother with manufacturing a lower for the purpose of sale. Way to much legality and defeats the purpose. You would have to serialize it also do the proper background checks to the buyer with ATF.
I made AR with a drill press. Now the jigs are what is going to make this fun or fucked. They are really hard to find as well. Lower parts kits are easy to find and even the 80% lowers for AR is.
If you wanna go this route I suggest you go with billet as opposed to Forged aluminum and polymer for an AR15 is not recommended. Just too much recoil to often that is can't deal with it.
The AR10 for such actually was told long as you use a drop in trigger isn't that bad.
As the other guy said the uppers are not regulated and can be shipped right to your door.
The reason I got down this route was simply because I see regulation happening in the near future, and I don't really see the need for me to be defenseless.
There are many other models of firearms you can make too.
