Frequently asked questions
- Do I need an FFL to buy the RL556v3 80% AR15 Lower – Gray?
- No FFL is required for an unfinished 80% frame or receiver under federal law, because it is not yet a firearm. Some states and cities restrict or ban unserialized frames, and we cannot ship there. Check your local law before ordering. This is general information, not legal advice.
- Are Polymer80 frames legal in Texas?
- Texas has no state law restricting 80% frames or receivers for personal builds. Federal rules still apply, and a home-built firearm cannot be sold without proper licensing. Laws change, so confirm the current rule before you build.
- What do I need to finish the RL556v3 80% AR15 Lower – Gray?
- The matching jig kit, the included drill bits and end mill, and a drill press or a router. Each product page names the frame family it fits. Email us your model if you are unsure and we will confirm before you pay.
- Is this in stock and how fast does it ship?
- Yes. It ships from Houston, TX within one to two business days, tracked and in plain packaging.
