A case for 80% lowers.
- Thread starter vern1915
- Start date
"AR-15s, as we speak today, do not have a receiver by the definition of the existing law and that's a huge issue,"
Under the US Code of Federal Regulations, a firearm frame or receiver is defined as: "That part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel."
The AR-15 lower receiver does not have a bolt or breechblock and is not threaded to receive the barrel,

TL;DR
This isn't an actual ruling, it's what the judge was getting ready to rule. Apparently he was ready to say that defining an AR-15 lower as a receiver goes against the legal definition; on top of that, the proper procedures weren't followed to issue that kind of a definition so that it would actually have legal force.
No wonder the ATF didn't want this to become official and decided to drop the case.
