FAQ
Q - Why do PCR's cost more than a commodity finished receiver I can get from an FFL?
A – The answer is fairly simple. It is not cheap to be in this business!
Volume:
The forging and casting tools cost the same if you are making a few hundred or thousands.
The machine tools are the same way. Everybody thinks CNC machining is cheap. The fixtures, programing, etc. [FOR A QUALITY PART] runs about $20,000 to get started.
Investing in the tools, raw materials and holding the inventory until the day you want is gets pretty steep.

Q - What is an PCR Lower Receiver?
A – An PCR Lower Receiver or frame is an incomplete receiver for a firearm that's machined or manufactured to a percentage below what the BATF considers a firearm or "gun". The Lower Receiver is considered "the gun" when complete.
The BATF decides what is the maximum level of completion which is not consdered "the gun". PCR receivers are “partially completed receivers” or [PCR]. Manufacturing Activity as well as Fitting & Adjustment is required to complete into a "finished receiver" to qualify the home builder as a "maker".

Q - How much special equipment and tools are required to complete my own firearm?
A – You will need some. It depends on the tools you have. These firearms can be manfactured with NO special equipment.
The issue is time and potential for error. Mills, drill presses, and other equipment can make the job much quicker and easier. They can also make a mess depending on your expertise and specific knowledge.
AR 15 Plus frames and receivers don't require the use of any complicated tools when you have our drills, reamers, taps, fixtures and other tools.

Q - Do I need an AR-15 Baxter Buffer kit?
A – The Baxter Buffer is for aligning the tap in exactly the right place and keeping it vertical to the reamed Buffer Tube and the detent. Weather you need this or not depends on the tools and shop you have. If you have a “tight Drill Press”, calipers / fairly standard measuring instruments / follow good machining methods and a good way to clamp the fixture. = The Baxter should be enough. If you are a little short on tooling and accessories = The Baxter Buffer is the way to go.
