Polymer 80 handguns

I'm looking to purchase a polymer 80 kit online and was wondering if they're legal in PA. Are these legal to buy build and shoot in PA?

Any good site you recommend buying from?

Best price I’ve found has been rockeybrass.com for the kits. And one of the few I’ve found that still sells the kits with rail modules included since the atf changed their definitions. If you’ve never done one before, go slow, take your time, and be methodical. And use OEM Glock parts. These can be picky about aftermarket mix and match stuff. The worst part of the build was milling the guide rod channel block out. Use a very sharp knife; don’t bother with the dremel/rasp/sanding drum method. Needle files are your friend also.

Do it now while you still can. Good luck finding factory Glock parts kits for a reasonable price though. I had to purchase each item from the kits individually to build mine (LPK and slide parts kits were either non existent or $200+ per kit)

HK, where’d you find that mag well? And is that talon grip tape I see or a custom job?

They got the buy build shoot kits for $580, are those good?

It’s everything in one package but requires FFL and they are serialized...I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one for convenience if I were to build another one. Cheaper than the $1200 I spend on mine, but I have the lightened RMR cut slide and a vortex viper

The AG tried to pull some crap recently with 80% lowers but the overreach of power didn't stick thankfully

Just ordered my first last night. I ordered a Strike 80, which is a collaboration between Strike Ind. and Polymer 80. I plan on taking my time to acquire all of the other needed parts. Yesterday, all of a sudden I got a bunch of "back in stock" e-mails for Polymer 80's from various retailers. The 19 kits have been out for a while.

I'd rather not got through a FFL, not that I cant pass a background check. I have a LTCF. Just dont like being registered in their record of sale database.
