    The upper reciever is the load bearing part on an Armalite, but it’s also not the regulated part. The lower receiver is, and all you need for that is a box that holds the trigger components in vaguely the right place, a hole that lines up the magazine, a hole to stick the buffer tube into at the back, and some way to nail the upper receiver to it.

    You could carve an AR lower out of wood if you were dedicated enough.

        No, you don’t. You can do literally anything productive with your life other than obsessing about killing tools.

          Please explain how I can “do literally anything productive with my life” when I’m murdered by MAGA fascists because I had no means to defend myself.

            Lmfao go touch grass. Youre alive so far because reality is not the internet, not because you own a gun and are statistically endangering yourself and your family with it.

              I don’t own a gun, actually. Your assumption is bad and you should feel bad.

              I am doing nothing but thinking about ensuring my ability to obtain one, should the political situation continue to deteriorate. That’s prudent, not delusional.

              The only one here acting obsessive and unhinged is you.
