"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them. ... Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever."--Thomas Jefferson

This amount will not be reflected in your shopping cart or on your invoice, but will be added when your order is processed
The actual code:
§ 53.61 Imposition and rates of tax.
(b) Parts or accessories —(1) In general. No tax is imposed by section 4181 of the Code on the sale of parts or accessories of firearms, pistols, revolvers, shells, and cartridges when sold separately or when sold with a complete firearm for use as spare parts or accessories. The tax does attach, however, to sales of completed firearms, pistols, revolvers, shells, and cartridges, and to sale of such articles that, although in knockdown condition, are complete as to all component parts.

actually, the way i understand it, you can buy the upper and lower and all the parts together, the excise tax should only be on COMPLETED AND ASSEMBLED, guns.
i thought the "knock down parts" section was supposed to apply to the t/c type guns, with the receiver and barrel in 2 different parts.
the way i was lead to understand this, MAYBE, if the lower was completely assembled so that when you got it all you had to do was slide the 2 push pins in, you should pay the excise tax, but not as a parts kit.
Well, my understanding is different - and probably wrong - I thought you paid the excise tax when the receiver was invloved - that makes the thing or things "a firearm" and therefore subject to the tax. Parts purchased w/o being attached to the receiver are not subject to it?
Hmm. After reading the excerpt above, it seems that the question is "what constitutes a 'complete firearm'"?

That's an awesome price! I've seen some stripped forged lowers on gunbroker a while back for LAR Grizzly's, those went for $125 a piece.... IIRC, I even saw a $75 lower once... but never $50 lowers!
At that price, every man should have at least 6! The problem is, the uppers are going to run you about $500 each (Model 1 Sales)... so build as your budget allows, but don't pass up on these lowers! Not at $50 a pop!
Ya snooze ya lose!
They're $79 bucks now! AND $7 shipping.
Still a good deal though.... the last stripped lower I bought that was under $80 bucks was a cast DPMS that rang like a church bell when you flicked its side with your finger.... it was $75.
