And don't think that there is no paper trail. A few years back there was a company selling 80% Polymer AR lowers that had a different color plastic molded into the lower to show what to whittle out.
The ATF decided that because they molded in two steps, one of those steps exceeded the 80% threshold and was a firearm. The company had to turn over all of their sales records, and all of the dealers also turned over their sales records, and owners had to surrender their lowers.
This is why it makes no sense to buy an 80% lower unless for cash with no paper trail.
