Build Your Own AR 15 - Legally and Unregistered
So you're interested in learning how to build your own AR 15. Welcome to the exclusive AR 15 builder club brought to you by the world of 80 percenters (80% lower receivers) and your 2nd Amendment! You've probably heard a lot of mixed messaging about what it takes to build your own AR 15, so we're here to hopefully help clear up some the possible confusion and, more importantly, explore the legal avenues one could take to build a 100% legal unregistered AR 15. Let's begin!

80-Lower.com believes whole-heartedly in the traditional values that have made this country great. While we do not sponsor or endorse the gross crimes committed by those cowards who prey on innocent civilians, we do believe as Americans, we have been granted a constitutional right to defend our families and ourselves.

Build Your Own AR 15
The journey to build your own AR 15 beings with the purchase of an 80% lower receiver. While in the purchase process consider purchasing an 80% lower jig. The 80% lower jig will allow you to complete your 80% lower with the necessary precision.



Once you have secured your lower receiver and jig, all you need is a drill press (or hand drill), drill bits and end mills. Finishing an 80% lower can be easy and anyone with DIY skills can complete an 80% lower. To some, the thought of building your own AR 15 starting with an 80% lower may seem intimidating, but it shouldn't. Thousands of people have finished their own 80% lowers without an issue - experts and novices, alike.

If you’re considering building more than one AR-15, consider purchasing an 80% lower & jig pack, which will include a jig and up to 5, 80% lower receivers. These packages provide an all-in-one convenience to build your own AR 15.



While it is 100% legal to complete and build your own AR 15 on an 80% lower receiver without any type of serialization or registration, one should be aware of a few facts.

  • First, your firearm cannot be traced in the event it is lost or stolen.
  • Second, you may be called into question about the possession of such a firearm if your vehicle or home is ever searched by law enforcement. Although 100% legal, make sure you know the law and be even more certain you can defend your right of non-registration adequately.
To start building your own unregistered AR-15 (that only YOU will know about), check out our 80% lower & jig packs, AR 15 Rifle Build Kits, and our various other AR-15 parts that will assist you with building and completion of your AR 15.

So, you own it for a few years, you see something you just gotta have, you need to pay a medical bill or two, your getting old and need to thin the herd before you kick the bucket . . . how does one sell said now complete AR . . . ?

This rhetorical question is not for us residents here in Georgia, but for those in states where these 80% builds are more in vogue, such as Commifornia . . .

I want to be garnished with my un-serialized lowers as I am creamated.

You buy a $40 Anderson lower and swap all the AR parts onto it. Then you’ve got a rifle that’s 100% legal to sell.
