werent they selling their regular lowers for that at one point? or was it $80?

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

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.

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.

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?
