(just poking the bear, I'm a gun owner that's all for stricter regulations)
ghost guns like 80% milled receivers? do you have any idea how much work goes into one of those to make it operational? how tight the tolerances have to be in order for them to work reliably? 90% of them fail habitually/jam up or nothing at all happens when you pull the trigger. most of those are sold with the idea with some patience and a drill and dremel you can have a ar receiver with a few well placed holes. in truth you need a 5 axis cnc machine/auto mill to make those work. and if you have that you do not need a 80% receiver.. plus if you use one it has to be registered.
If you have a cnc it will be easier to start from a solid block of material because you will have to take hours setting up and plotting out the 80% receiver in the machine so it is properly oriented/the computer is aligned to know where to cut out what.. where as the machine (if you have the program) can take a block of billet aluminum and cut your own receiver in 1/2 the time. but then are subject to federal regulations and have to file as a manufacturer.. which again defeats the purpose of a 80% lower. also if you build one, you can't legally transfer it or sell it to any one. the only option is to turn it is to the police or someone like me to be destroyed if you don't use it as a wall hanger.
Ghost guns are a joke. because there maybe only a few hundred people who have the skills and hand tools at home (have to be built at home) can build them out legally. mean hand forge/hume them out with hand tools. remember you can't buy or put them on any specialized mill or other machining equipment. otherwise it is considered to be manufactured which means it is subject to regulation/serial number by a licensed fire arm manufacturer. which again defeats the purpose. this is just a way for 1/2 asses gun builders to make money on a loop hole they found.. if you want to be scared of something.. the 3d printed receiver is a far greater threat as anyone can just print out a ghost gun and all the special cuts and machine work is already done.
if someone wants a box of 80% lowers they don't need me to get them as they are considered aluminum blocks. they can buy from the manufacturer. I would be an unnecessary middle man.
that said i do plan on buying some lowers and kit them out with tactical triggers and some tricked out uppers. but the will be sold as regular firearms. but have to do more research and find a suppliers to make it all work.
right now the only think im doing is setting up the show room and trying to make contacts.. might be going to 'glock school' to become an authorized dealer. we will see what they say.
