"Most of the 80% receiver manufacturers who were targeted by the BATF, raided, and prosecuted in court have exited the business."

Fixed it for you. Many more have taken their place, but it is probably only time until they are raided, too.

BTW, having "build parties" is what tripped up a few of them. And, having a CNC machine programmed to machine it, leaving you only having to push the "on" button was another one.

A previous injection moulded plastic lower manufacturer offered one that was complete except for enlarging the undersized existing holes in the sides. Since it took VERY little time to injection mould a lower, just enlarging the holes was truly 20% of the work time. They are no longer in business. My guess is that the latest one was just too easy to complete.

Thanks. I was relieved to see that Brownells still had 80% lowers on their web site. I seem to recall an article describing a Chinese concern which was calculating their upcoming shipments by the ton. There must be a lot of interest.

Gun owners are so accident-prone these days that it seems like a lot of work just to see one's carefully crafted receiver sink to the bottom of a lake. Future generations may be mystified by the hazards to navigation created by such hobbyists.
