Ever since Senator Kevin de Leon uttered the immortal words Ghost Guns in an ignorance laden speech I’ve been fascinated by 80% lowers and frames. The idea that I can subvert ridiculous legislation and regulation easily by just building my own gun is fantastic. As an 80% enthusiast, I wanted to share 80% Lowers, Frames, […]
