Dont know much about ars but whats the draw of a polymer lower? Besides weight.

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

Weight is the key, and with the proper other components (polymer or carbon 15 upper with a lightweight 7" barrel, etc) you could assemble a jersey-legal AR pistol (assuming you bought the lower with a PPP instead of a COE)

Are you certain that purchasing the lower with a PPP instead of a COE is a requirement to assembling a legal AR pistol in NJ? I have one of these polymer lowers and have been considering building a pistol if I can find lightweight enough components.

If you didn't purchase it as a pistol lower, you can NOT legally make it into a handgun.

Once a rifle, always a rifle.

Stripped lower gets logged as 'other'. I'll let actual ffls chime in as to what that means here.

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

The "other" classification on the 4473 was Eric Holder's invention to keep transfers of pistol gripped shotguns and stripped lowers limited to state-of-residence FFLs.

Tightening of the noose, one notch at a time.

 

As you said, let's see what the licensees have to say on the subject ...

njJoniGuy is right. One must purchase the stripped lower on a permit to build it into a pistol.

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

Thanks for the clarification. So much for that idea!

I went with the new frontier lower from joe bob outfitters seems like a solid lower for a great price.

Is there a noticeable weight difference between the polymer lower and regular one?

But does it matter what it is sold as?
