Looks like the ATF Raid on Ares Armor has had some effect on the rest of the industry selling 80% lower receivers. One company, Polymer 80 (http://polymer80.com/) (who is based out of California like Ares Armor) has posted they will no longer be selling 80% lowers for sale. Here is the notice they posted on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=239421742910588&id=138959999623430):



Valued Customers and supporters of Polymer80,

Some of you may have taken notice that we are no longer offering the G150 80% lower for sale on our site. We want to be clear that:

A. We were NOT shutdown in anyway by the ATF
B. We were NOT raided by the ATF
C. We have NOT even been contacted or directed by the ATF in any way, shape or form
D. We have done this VOLUNTARILY and PROACTIVELY

We currently do NOT have an active customer list nor do we have any inventory. We are going to proactively work directly with the Science and Technology Department at the ATF to quickly get a determination letter and move forward providing a fun, affordable and legal option for gun ownership.

Our goal is protect your privacy and our rights, so instead of cashing in on a potential flood of business created by the current climate, we have opted to take a measured approach that protects your information and our 2nd Amendment rights as law-abiding Americans.

How can you help support Polymer80?

We will be putting up TONS of new products on our site, such as lower part kits, upper receivers, rails and fore grips and much more. They will be quality products at killer prices and your support will help us through this time as we work hard permanently protect this industry and our product.

We cannot thank all you enough for incredible support we have received; we truly, truly have the best customers of any company!
Thank you!

This may signal a change in the legal classification of 80% Lower Receivers.

Good share...seems interesting for certain. I have not really been enticed by any poly or 80% lowers although James Madison Tactical seems interesting.
