Receivers in general(airsoft or realsteel) are restricted. Only if it is the part that hosts the serial numbers. Example: lower receiver of an M4, the upper is not restricted.

If you really want it check around real gun shops and find a collector willing to sell. Importing and getting caught is goona haslle you more.

I wouldn't import it myself, but thanks for the replies.

80% receivers are LEGAL and do NOT require a firearms license (PAL).

Now as for importing them, I cannot speak on what I have not done.

If your looking for an AR 80% contact DLASK. They are in country.

I'd be looking for the M1928 receiver specifically... as I'm having issues finding any actual manufacturers of the piece for Airsoft. Seems easier to just modify one of the above.

Thanks though for the reply, I'll look into it further.

An 80% receiver is not a controlled firearm/part and would be legal for import. You may still need to contact US State dept. or ATF for export requirements.

Sounds like a plan, thanks a load guys!

EDIT: however, the 2nd link was a display receiver, is that considered prohibited then?

Sorry to bump an old thread but I've been scowering the net for some answers on polymer lowers... and I found dlask to be expensive for a 80% aluminum there is a polymer alternative too I found at arlower.ca but does anyone know the ruling for sure on this?

[Styrak]

If it's an 80% lower it's not a firearm. It's a piece of metal (or plastic in this case).

Wouldn't milling an 80% to complete it equals to manufacturing a firearm?

if you complete it so that it functions, yes. if you mod it to work with airsoft only and make sure it is incapable of being used as part of a complete firearm, you should should be ok. again, dat gray area.

While I can understand this being done for a 7075 lower, I'm a bit baffled about wanting to do it with a polymer lower: you can get a pre-made plastic lower for a fraction of the cost?


Also, if you're doing an AR... a RS lower won't work with most AEGs (the mechbox is too wide, AEG lowers are wider than spec). If its for a GBBR, there are notable differences with RS and you're in for a lot of work -- and you have to know what you're doing. If cost is a huge issue why not get the $45 forging from Dlask. Save a lot money for a bit more work.

yes, making a GBBR/PTW from an 80% AR lower is a lot of work. for me, i enjoy it. half the fun is doing the work.

But you don't need a license to buy an 80% lower...
So if you don't have a license but want to build an AR15...
