Been shotgun all my life with a mini14 I love. Now determined to build my first ar15 chambered for 5.56. Just picked up a DPMS lower and alow lower kit for now. I been reading on installing but have to say this video is probably the best and most informative I have reviewed, and I have reviewed alot being I want to do this right.
Question, the lower parts kit I got is called ALOW with no other name, is that a Bushmaster?
Yes I understand that, but, I cant just order all the parts to build a rifle and have them shipped to me directly, I guess my question is which parts can I have shipped to me and which do I have to have shipped to a ffl holder.
The Receiver is the firearm, so it is the only part that requires paperwork (a store) the rest you can buy from whatever source, they are all just parts
@jmikeslater you need to be careful not to use full auto parts. it maybe banned depending on where you're at. some states don't allow the regular GI mag release. you need to check state laws for that.
Cant go wrong with LWRC lower parts kit as it's very good quality and they include buffer tube, buffer, buffer spring, they also include a Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard but best part they leave out the STD AR grip which is great because I never use them in the first place opting for a Tango Down.
The lower receiver is considered a firearm. You will need to use a FFL to facilitate the purchase or transfer, unless buying secondhand from a private party. You do not need to have a FFL to assemble the complete lower.
You guys are quickly starting to become the number one resource for AR15's on youtube! Its getting to the point where I won't buy a part for my AR15 unless I see it reviewed on GunWebsites.
If i order a custom ar15 will i have to put it together?

do you have ot have a FFL to buy this?
ihunt19 2 years ago
an FFL is a federal license to manufacture, import or sell firearms and / or ammo
You really don't need an FFL unless you intend to do one of these activities
Buying a single receiver and parts wouldn't be considered manufacturing to the extent it would require licensing

This has been flagged as spam show
However, you have to buy the lower receiver from an FFL, even if it is stripped, right?
I thought this was the case because it was the lower receiver which had the serial number (or something like that).

Are there any LPK that you would recommend? Also, what tools will I need for my first build?
callmetw 2 years ago
Around here any parts kit will do, they are hard to find
for the lower just basic tools and a few punches are all you'll need
GunWebsites 2 years ago
You don't HAVE to have any special tools other than standard punches and a medium/small hammer for the lower. That's all I used plus electrical tape.
