Colt lower discontinued?

[Hkbeltfed]

Agreed, the problem with ArmsUnlimited though is their lowers say "Piston Carbine".

And they were disassembled from completed rifles.

“Piston” marking only an issue for cloners (in my mind), but retains Colt quality. I get it though.

For the disassembled... That’s an issue for people who want to make “pistols” out of them certainly (I do not do this), but is that confirmed?
I’d be ...perturbed... if I ordered something represented as new without a disclaimer clearly stating it was a part out. Non an issue here, as I didn’t order one of those lowers, but still.

$399 is a lot more than $275 for a complete Colt lower at ArmsUnlimited. I definitely wouldn’t pay $400, but $275 is within reason, about the same as what everyone was paying from Brownells.

Suprised more people didnt jump when they were at their lowest way back when. I got a few for around $185 a piece mixing coupons and active junky and whatnot.

Woah woah woah...didnt know that. Definitely not even worth considering them then.

it doesnt matter. the only time a lower is a "firearm" is when it left STRIPPED from factory. once its complete with upper or no upper, with stock or no stock with a stock buffer tube , it is a "rifle" in ATF's books. Just because the store clerk, factory cs rep, ffl sales guy or even a previous buyer review says so doesnt mean ATF agrees. go ahead and continue with wishful thinking but truth hurts.

STRIPPED:
1. FIREARM (not pistol/not rifle)
COMPLETE: (no upper required)
1. RIFLE
2. PISTOL

STRIPPED

Incorrect. The complete lower cannot have been a rifle, a rifle requires a barrel. Since it's never had a barrel attached, it cannot meet the legal definition of a rifle. Colt CS told me they are on the books as serialized parts. Please don't spread misinformation.

a "pistol" lower can have a 20 inch barrel and it still not a "rifle". while a "rifle" can have 16 inch barrel. upper dont tell what category or description the lower is on ATF's books. what matters is what ATF sees it as.

A lower without any barrel cannot be a rifle. Read the laws for yourself.

Maybe someone should make a new thread? Or look the shit up for yourself.

Agree. Just ordered a LMT mars this morning
