Re: 80% Build Parties deemed illegal by the ATF
From what I was told by others, you go to the machine shop, place your lower in a fixture, and press the start button on the machine while a machinist watches and gives instruction. I have no idea if this is really the way it's done.
Boy, I say boy, you're reaching the limits of my medication!

That doesn't seem to be the case. Read this;

The receiver has to have no work done where the FCG is installed.

Re: 80% Build Parties deemed illegal by the ATF
So you're saying that the ATF is involving itself into people's right of peaceful assembly? ( please, no puns on Piece-full assembly... )
This is what happens when you give a legislator an inch. There's no way a Federal Government agency should be involved with this. There's no FFL involved, there's no interstate commerce, and there's been no civil rights violation.
Over-riding issue: Who is harmed by building your own rifle?

Re: 80% Build Parties deemed illegal by the ATF
the only work those 95% are saving you is the pocket for the rear take down lug, the question was posed if "you could have someone else do most of the work and you just drill the final hole" http://www.tacticalmachining.com/80-...-receiver.html

Re: 80% Build Parties deemed illegal by the ATF
Your post I quoted had no question included. You made a statement and I responded to that statement.
If you read the AR15.com post, there was a letter from the ATF stating that no machine work can be done in the FCG area of the receiver, for the receiver to be a non-FFL item. Another person can not be paid to do any machining in that area. That person would need a lic. and need to apply a serial # to the receiver.
POSSIBLY, if you went to a buddy's machine shop, with a six pack, and he set the CNC up to do the milling, and you pushed the START button, then there is no intent to manufacturer a firearm for sale after completion, and you are not paying for services. Of course the beer might be consider compensation by the ATF. This last statement is not advice to do what is stated, and not be taken lightly. IANAL.

Re: 80% Build Parties deemed illegal by the ATF
My post was in response to this, "At what point does the 80% lower become finished? Couldn't they work around this by the machinist doing all the work except for one or two spins of the drill press and having the "owner" do those?" And I stand by my statement. With how easy these are to complete there is no reason not to do the work yourself IMHO Buy/borrow/rent a jig and use your buddys drillpress
