What is the difference between a stripped lower and a complete lower?
A stripped lower receiver is the part of an AR-15 that contains the fire control group and the magazine well. It is generally made of aluminum or polymer and is considered the “firearm” itself since it is the component to which other parts (such as a stock, pistol grip, barrel, and trigger) are attached.
A stripped lower receiver must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) as a firearm. In most states, it is also required to have a serial number engraved on it.
A stripped lower receiver is the bottom part of an AR-15 rifle that holds the magazine and firing mechanism. It does not include any of the furniture, such as the pistol grip, stock, or handguard.
A stripped lower receiver can be legally bought and sold in the United States as long as it is not already attached to a firearm. This means that it can be purchased as a standalone part and then built into a complete rifle with other parts. Stripped lowers are often used by gun enthusiasts who want to create their unique AR-15 rifles.
A stripped lower receiver is the frame or chassis of a firearm that holds all of the essential parts of the weapon. It is called “stripped” because it does not include any of the additional components, such as a barrel, stock, or magazine. A stripped lower receiver must be completed with these other parts to be used as a firearm.
