If you decide to make an 80% lower into a gun, then later decide the gun needs gunsmithing work, well...
It's gonna be hard convincing a gunsmith to work on it.

The main reason they get booted is that they have no serial number. Get a set of number punches and whack one into the side of the receiver before any paint/cerakote/anodizing and you should be quite a bit ahead of the completely blank 80% guys.

I'd have thought 'most gunsmiths' would do what they do when they receive a pre-'68 firearm with no serial number. Do these 'smiths know the ATF already has a procedure to follow in these cases?

But it's not like his work log isn't backed up 9 months already. Why risk it? Maybe for a customer he knows and has done a bunch of work with.
