The ATF recently released a statement that polymer 80% frames for handguns are all “readily convertible” into functional firearms, and thus have to be treated like firearms.
That isn’t exactly true. 80 percent arms is reporting that their 80% handgun frames are unaffected by the letter because a Texas judge has placed an injunction on the ATF enforcing any bans on their products. If you want an 80% handgun frame, you can still get them here.

Texas court has no control over federal charges. Like all those states where pot is legal but will get you jammed up on a 4471. Or the states that say no tax stamp needed for a silencer.
You can bet that a BATFE task force is looking at raiding 80% and getting their grubby hands on all the customer and supplier lists.

It is a Federal Judge in Texas. Not a Texas state court judge.

Goodness, gracious. Invest some youtube-watching time until you can complete a 0% upper. (0% is the rectangular bar the mill rolls the metal into)

The letter I saw named Polymer 80 and Line Wolf specifically, not all makers generally.

The letter says that they have determined that all polymer 80 percent lowers are readily convertible into a frame, and are thus firearms. Letter here:
