Brought to you by AG Kamala Harris with special assistance from Senator [D] Dianne Feinstein. [I assume]
Now their defying court orders.

Howdy,
Ares Armor played "fast and loose" with the 80% regulations and the ATF decided they stepped over the line.
I'm a, as I call myself, a shade tree machinist and I have several lathes, mills, mill drill, do-all type grinder, etc at work that I use to make various parts for work and my self.
Here's a few pics of my "handywork":
Scrap aluminum:
On the lathe:
Machined ring:
Finished:
Back side:
Back side together:
Another finished:
Here's another one, it's spacer rings for my cup holders:
Used aluminum roller after I cut it in half:
On the lathe:
Boring the center on the lathe:
Finished:
Installed:
With my "skills" and equipment at work I could easily build an 80% lower into a functional lower.
Heck, since I have several ARs including a stripped lower I could duplicate it without to much trouble if I have a suitable piece of aluminum to work with.
What Ares Armor did was to make a polymer lower that used different colored polymers so a person with limited skills and a simple $20.00 hand drill could drill out the highlighted polymer for the trigger group.
ATF said that was a no-no and Ares Armor did it anyway.
When I was 12 or 13yi my younger brother used a stick to knock a hornets' nest out of a tree. I told him that it was a bad idea BEFORE he did it but he did it anyway.
Almost 40 years later he still whines about being stung by the hornets that day.

More on the subject of an illegal alien and convicted felon "assisting customers" in the manufacturing process of a firearm from an 80% lower on business premises (not at Ares Armor). It looks like the BATFE is using a prior case that is not related to Ares Armor to justify their investigation and search warrant: Search Warrant Sheds Light on Ares Armor ATF Raid | The Truth About Guns.

In that articles comment section, I tend to agree with Cheesy;
"NONE of this is justified. It is ALL an infringement on “Shall not be infringed.”
Ares’ only crime is doing what they do in Commiefornia. Period."
This should not even be an issue here in the land of the free.
