Was looking for 80% AR lowers and seems like everybody is out of stock. Demand is going thru the roof ?

Semi automatic assault weapons? Big time illegal. No, I was chatting with a few boys and learned what is legal on the Left Coast.

Why buy a 80% lower when finished are sold at a reasonable price :?:
I just built 2 low priced Anderson's and they fire and function flawlessly.
And you don't run the risk of ruining one :idea:

I am always fascinated what is legal in the States and even in CA. On OLL is a big loophole if you ask me from an outside-in perspective.

I was reading a little bit more about the AR-15 and educate myself. Seems like our little jeeps this a platform going on since forever.

When I was in the Army and when we ran across US forces at some maneuver, we were always jealous about the M16. We had the heavy H&K G3, the M16 was much lighter and it had the carrying handle the G3 did not. So with that past experience I found it for example interesting to see that the newer AR-15 uppers don't have that handle any more but rather a flat platform to equip them with all kinds of sighting crap. But of course, the old style upper is still available and one can build so many different variations of that weapon.

Still, when building one, apparently the rules are different for different states and something that is perfectly legal in Idaho is reason to go to jail in California. Something I never will understand...

Welcome the the USA. It is likely to just get worse too. Soon it will be like all the other countries. Whoa! Lets not go down that political road. :roll: :|

The biggest problem with a standard M4 is the front sight. A folding sight would be better as it interferes less with mounted optics.

isn't the biggest issue that overall it needs to have 16" length?
