I'm wondering who else has milled out an 80% lower for their AR. A guy at young guns sent me to this site.

BATF does not require registration or serial numbers according to the GCA.

but Hawaii HRS does require registration and S/N
Since you are the manufacture, you'd need to engrave the following info
Min. 1/16 tall and .003 deep (BATF 27 CFR 478.92)


Name (you)
City , State
S/N
Cal.

It seems the popularity of the 80% receiver is due there being no paper trail, since there is no atf form filled out since its not a finished receiver.  In Hawaii you have to register it anyway so why not just buy a 100% lower.

Stripped lower can cost less than an 80%, no real advantage machining one in Hawaii. :(  That doesn't mean I wouldn't do one just for the fun of it. ;)
