Top Five Tools For Building Your Own AK-47 Rifle. I chose a fully-formed AK receiver with rails and center post. If you’re building from a receiver flat that doesn’t yet have the center.
BTW: Ace Arms online store is down and out....

Hey gunnit.
So I've always found that sellers of 80% AK lowers don't include the bolt guide rails already welded on, up until I found Henderson Defense's 80% lowers, which come with the rails pre-installed. The company claims to have a letter of the BATF approval of the item as an 80% lower.
I realized after seeing them that I have never actually seen the ATF ruling in writing regarding rails being installed, only rulings in regards to AR's. Googling yielded nothing.
80% Ak Receivers With Rails
My question is, does anyone have the actual ruling that specifies having rails installed as making it a firearm? And how is this company able to offer receivers with rails and still consider them 80%?
