Building a 500 on a Virgin Receiver

You could probably source a lot of the used (but good condition) parts on ebay if I were guessing. I know I've seen a lot of trigger packs, magazines tubes and such.

Numrich gun parts would be another source for used parts.

I'm just curious where you're going to find virgin or 80% receiver at. I don't recall ever seeing one.

That is really cool.

Closest thing I had ever seen to a stripped receiver, was an actual stripped receiver that had been taken apart from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police many years ago and sold into the surplus market, but they weren't virgin receivers obviously.

If I were you, I'd make a physical copy of the ad or keep the invoice (if they mailed one). Perhaps even a copy of the 4473.

Just something that will have definitive proof of what you're saying if you're worried about it. Always CYA. I have two really big binders full of receipts and things.

I've just been around long enough to know that if there is a possibility that I will have to prove something, I'll usually be able to. If you're concerned whether your state will give you a hard time about the gun or the build, it's just better to be able to shove that receipt up their nose.

Having lived through one ban, I learned to keep receipts for anything that shows "proof"

Not many folks SBS'ing these days. So, I'm going to be the first to tell you, that's awesome.

And for demilled parts, that's a good sight too. I'm going to bookmark them. They have a little for everyone.

If that 500B had a barrel, I'd be on it like white on rice.

That is very true meanstreak.

I think trump was dead wrong with his comments about confiscating first and due process later. That's entirely the wrong answer and I'm not too bashful to say it.

And several states have adopted such policies, based on nothing more than scornful ex girlfriends.

Or crazy leftists with an agenda to demonize all gun owners.

The government has even been down that road with a "see something, say something" brown shirt reward policy.

I don't like it a bit.

We have laws and DUE process.

But we all know that the presumption of innocence was nothing more than a feelgood sentiment. For far too long the judicial system and those DA's and Prosecuting attorneys and places have weaponized the media when it comes to high profile cases to make "proving" innocence an all but guaranteed impossibility. Right or wrong, I would have a far easier time proving that, than disproving it.
