You Can't 'Block' the Signal?


So what does this have to do with plastic bricks? Easy. If you don't have a $500 Chinese mill & a $100 hunk of aluminum, or a $550 3-D plastic printer, it's off to the gun dealer with you, right? Maybe. Or maybe you can dig into your kids' toy box, sit at your kitchen table, and build an AR lower out of the plastic building bricks you already have in your house. So - we offer you a sixth choice in the route to owning an AR. You don't need a $500 piece of equipment to make aluminum chips or plastic shapes, and you don't have to walk down to your gun shop. You need some ABS glue, some time, and a lot of plastic bricks and patience. [More]

  1. What's to prevent the BATFAE deciding that the AR uppers are the firearm, not the lower receiver?

  2. The BATFE was mandated to regulate AR uppers when the Gun Control Act of 1968 passed and the statute was modified to define a frame or receiver.

    ATF chose to regulate the wrong half because it was less work. Having every upper made to date in 1968 marked would have been a lot of work...Now it would be impossible.

    ATF has been sued many times to force them to address this situation and JUST-US fights tooth and nail to ignore it.

    It's never been about safety or even the law, it's about power and those whom abuse it.

    Way to go ATF...Every upper is a "Ghost Gun" by ATF mandate. (Psst, It's not alone either).

  3. Millions of existing unserialized uppers? Hee hee hee!

  4. And then there was the FN-FAL. FN was putting the serial number on the upper. Many FAL's were imported marked that way. Then ATF mandated they mark the lower instead. Many were marked that way. So some FAL's have the SN on the upper, and some have it on the lower. Imagine a "mix & match" party where you start out with two perfectly legal FAL's and end up with one with two SN'a and another with none.

    Paraphrasing a joke about the most often told lies in the English language:

    1. The check is in the mail.
    2. One size fits all.
    3. We're from the ATF and we're here to help you.

    Thank you soooooo much, ATF!
