NON-gun Lowers
I am looking for something like a "Blue gun" or "Red gun" AR-15 lower...
BUT... Want to be able to install a real/actual AR-15 upper on this safe NON-gun lower... Obviously NOT for shooting... TW |

So, to clarify, do you need something that cannot fire, or is by legal definition not a firearm?

Is this a possible disaster waiting to happen?
What’s wrong with a $60 blue glock or $150 Blue AR?

BOTH... Not to be fired (with no internals, can't fire) and NOT a "firearm"... TW |

Do you still want to be able to work the bolt? Hence, the need to be able to use the real upper...

NOTHING NEEDS to FUNCTION except the ability to attach the upper and lower... TW Last edited by TimW77; November 29, 2019 at 06:00 PM. |

Out of curiosity what is your specific use / what’s the why of it?
An airsoft AR15 trainer might meet your needs?

Might want to reread what I want and what is shown in the link... Because NO, what I want is NOT listed under that link... "No idea why he wants to reinvent the wheel..." Reread what was written, not trying to reinvent anything, trying to find WHAT I NEED... "...and make his own." Duh, have no idea where you came up with me wanting to make my own, want to know WHERE TO FIND item that meets my needs!!! TW |

Hmmm...
The ability to swap your upper, with your optics, light placed where you want it, whatever foregrip/handstop you like on a completely safe lower has some training usefulness. But its pretty limited. In all the classes i teach where this type of non-firing gun is needed, we just take out the bolt carrier group and put some colored tape over the mag well. Problem solved. That also allows the stock to remain consistent, as well as all the above. |
