That's not nearly as fun as wanton speculation, gratuitous pontification on the legality and morality of current NFA laws.Really guys, is it so much to ask that airsoft manufacturers make toys with parts enough out of milspec that real parts don't fit?

er no its a plug and play deal on the one type of gun. see the links and also might wanna see where ptk describe a wooden lower the lower is not pressure stressed
You keep claiming that it's as easy as swapping a few parts, but I don't buy it. If it's so easy, show me a converted, functioning gun.
People have built AR lowers out of all sorts of things. I already pointed out that there are guys who've built a lower by gluing together plastic cafeteria trays and then milling out the plastic. Shall we now assume that plastic cafeteria trays are readily converted into a live weapon?
The proof is that the BATFE has seized these guns, because the receivers, as-is, are in spec M4 receivers, and thus MGs in and of themselves. You know that.
Straw man, and again, you know better.
So says a keyboard gunsmith who appearently doesn't know you can buy fully functional PLASTIC ar15 lowers that work great."...It's certainly plausible..." No it isn't. Airsoft toys are plastic and soft metal. FoxNews is full of excrement. So is Leo Gonnuscio of Kind Mountain Gun Works. Whoever he is.

"...I'm calling Myth Busters..." Those twits know even less.
I guess I don't know as much as I thought I did. It was stated that all the receiver does is hold the gun together. Later, it mentions other reasons. But I thought that the receiver includes the magazine well and related parts.
This brings up something that has always confused me. I see ads in gun catalogs where they are selling all parts, except for the receiver, for many rifles, machine guns that included the fire control parts. I've seen AR-15 uppers for a lot less than $1,100.
My confusion is what are people doing with them? I'm not talking about AR-15's as you can change the caliber, barrell length and the barrel's rifling. I'm talking about AK-47's etc. Are that many people that will pay for all parts of an AK-47, except for the receiver? I could understand if you were restoring them. But, what I wonder if people, out there, are making lowers that are not stamped and regulated. In other words, a 'home made' receiver, that with the parts kits could give you an undocumented, illegal firearm that could also work in full auto. Full autos can cost $10,000 and up. So, it does make me wonder.
There are just too many ads for these parts kits out there. Advertisers don't pay money, over and over, unless people are buying them.
Last thing. Wouldn't it be possible to make a mold of a real receiver and then cast it in polymer or metal, then work on it until it will work?
