Steve Johnson, The Firearm Blog’s Editor and Chief, recently blogged about Polymer80’s recent “proactive” decision to stop selling 80% lowers. Polymer80 noted that they were going to work with the Science and Technology Department of the ATF.
Chris Garrison, owner of Billet Rifle Systems and Billet80.com, provided The Firearm Blog with a copy of His Determination letter from the ATF.
Hope this clears things up bit concerning 80% lowers. A big thank you to Chris Garrison for sending us his Determination letter.
The Firearm Blog has a series of articles that detail making your own Ar-15 with an 80% lower.
The Editor Says: Given the recent events and uncertainty surrounding 80% lowers, we will publish all BATFE letters determining their legality. Manufacturers and retailers can email their letters to the editor at editor@thefirearmblog.com
