On the top menu right between right between "PCC 9MM/45" and "Glock Mods" there is an "80%" you can select and then goto AR-10/LR308 or AR-15 or 9MM/45.
They are not cheap, but they are very nice lowers.AR-15 80% Lower - Juggernaut Tactical
jtactical.com
ETA: If you get their more expensive lower that comes with both an ambi bolt release and is marked for an ambi safety, you'll get a pin (the ambi transfer pin). They don't give you any instructions on what to do with this pin (at least they didn't with my AR-45 lower). However, they do have a video on what to do with it. First half of the video covers their PCC lowers (those come with a spring and pin), second half (which at its beginning appears to be an exact duplicate of the first) actually covers their standard AR-15 JT lowers.
Not sure why you're asking, but there are many "reasons" I am going this way. I have a pre ban AR, so want to add this to my collection. If we can ever get the parts.....Is there a reason you are going with an 80 on your first build?
Gotcha. I was just curious. That's why I was asking.Not sure why you're asking, but there are many "reasons" I am going this way. I have a pre ban AR, so want to add this to my collection. If we can ever get the parts.....
I agree that an 80% build is pretty cool, however, I'd have to disagree on most things being anonymous, especially A) Anything firearm related , and B) Things you mention on a forumThere are a two of reasons I like building based on an 80% lower. First, it makes the build a tiny bit more challenging. Installing a LPK into a striped lower is pretty easy, even without any special tools. If you got all the aids (trigger guard installation tool, bolt catch punch set, pivot pin tool) it's stupid easy. Building up a stripped upper is challenging enough on its own (particularly if you're lapping the upper). Plus, having to mill out and drill the 80% lower makes it a bit more "mine". Second, I get to decide when (if?) it's registered. Technically, as long as I don't put an upper on it, it can sit in my safe anonymously forever. (ETA At least under current MA laws.)

Hello all, I want to build an AR with an 80% lower. Tried to purchase the whole upper kit from Palmetto. They do NO, I said NO business in massachusetts!!! WTF?? Any suggestions or who has quality kits? Would just like to go the kit route instead of piecemeal. Any help would be appreciated. Want to get this done before the "rules" change which I feel are imminent for this category of the hobby. Thanks
Yeah, since I have an LTC they certainly know I have guns. But I can hope that they might miss a couple of built out 80% when they come after my guns. Particularly if they aren't on anyones' "list" and when I've over 25 acres to "store" them on.I agree that an 80% build is pretty cool, however, I'd have to disagree on most things being anonymous, especially A) Anything firearm related , and B) Things you mention on a forum
Thank you! Have been collecting parts and have been using BKF, quick shipping, good selection of parts etc. Will look at those you mentioned.OP, if you haven't got an upper and/or LPK for your Juggernaut 80% now would be the time. Everyone is having Cyber Monday sales. 5D Tactical and 80% Lowers both are 15% off site wide. AR15Parts.com has 35% off selected uppers. Bear Creek Arsenal has some complete 5.56 uppers for $200.
Actually 80% Arms and 5D Tactical are one in the same. See my post #56 in the Polymer 80 Thread:Seems like you need to get the jigs now. Either they are 'out of stock' or they are no longer being shipped by a number of vendors. Giot two emails like this today:

"Due to recent changes in ATF regulations, 5D Tactical can no longer sell or support jigs directly."
Probably need to download all the DYI pdf's before they vanish as well.
