yea . I heard you can by a unfinished lower reciever and all the parts and with little maching work build your own ar 15 or ar 10.No paper work. If I was to do that I would get the ar 15 rifle.ar10 rifle in 7mm-08 and a ar 15 pistol for starters.Since Bidden is already talking about them. I might buy 3 or 4 extra lowers and have them to start others later.

I heard the machine work is not much and you can even buy the jigs and one setup uses a router. I heard this and might need to investigate it.

Resist and wind up in a jail or a grave- your choice.
