Saying Goodbye to 80% Lowers, Nationwide
This video from Washington Gun Law, presented by attorney William Kirk, details the significant impact of the ATF's new rule on firearm definitions, effective August 10, 2022. The expanded definition of 'frame or receiver' effectively ends the era of unserialized 80% lowers and Form 1 kits, requiring serialization for previously unregulated components. This change necessitates FFL transfers and background checks for these parts, leading to increased costs for consumers due to new manufacturing and licensing requirements.
