Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ATF's current stance on 'Buy Build Shoot' kits?

The ATF is increasingly scrutinizing 'Buy Build Shoot' kits, considering them firearms because they are designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile. This has led to raids on companies like Polymer 80 and demands for customer information.

Are 80% lower receivers still legal to purchase?

As of the video's release, 80% lower receivers are still legal to buy. However, the ATF's focus on 'Buy Build Shoot' kits and the ambiguity surrounding what constitutes a firearm is creating a complex legal landscape for related components.

Why is the ATF targeting companies selling 80% lower receiver kits?

The ATF attributes the rise in crimes using firearms built from 80% frames to these kits. They are demanding customer data from retailers and are evaluating sales of kits and bundled components on a case-by-case basis.

What does 'readily convertible to expel a projectile' mean in the context of 80% lowers?

This phrase, as interpreted by the ATF, means that a collection of unassembled firearm parts, including kits, can be considered a firearm if they can be easily converted to fire a projectile. The ATF is applying this definition to 'Buy Build Shoot' kits.
