Above posts already cover the legal stuff. Are you in Mass? If so, be sure to register via the EFA10 portal within 7 days of completing the rifle. If you can load bullets and it will go boom when you pull the trigger, you have 7 days to register.
As a side note- when you do the detents & springs, expect those little M-Fers to go flying across the room. Be in a room where you can find them after they bounce off the ceiling. Been there done that, and when I move out of this house I'm going to find a dozen of the little buggers in the basement.
You can also assemble those parts in a large bag or pillowcase to catch the little suckers if they launch.As a side note- when you do the detents & springs, expect those little M-Fers to go flying across the room.

I have at least 2 some where in my basement or ceiling.Brownells does make a fancy tool for the front takedown pin. After you launch 40 detents into orbit you'll wonder why you didn't just spend the $12.
Meh I wouldn't care. I'm in the process of building a SBR with a "post Healey" lower as many others have done without issue. Can't speak to the risk with dealers selling post Healey lowers, though I know a few that are...Depends on how long is long that these lowers been sitting/made. Pre94 post 94 is a big question

Just use any lower parts kit you like for the ar-15. After you assemble the whole rifle the only 3 things you need to consider to keep compliant is the muzzle device (brake) needs to be pinned, bayo lug needs to be shaved off and the stock if adjustable needs to be fixed. Also keep in mind the barrel needs to be at least 16" if building a rifle. Hope that helps.
If you are building two its probably a good idea to google tools that make building easier. They will not break the bank but make the process faster and less chance of damaging the finish.

If you don't want to hand Brownells $12, next time you're at Home Depot, or Lowe's, or Ace....

you need to specify which law though, the law of the Land, unconstitutional ban, edict 1 and/or 2.
also you don't need to file ef10 until 7 days since it can discharge bullets or something. I haven't figured a way to do that with just lower though.

You have to hold the round very firmly in your fingers right in front of the hammer, which you'll need to glue a small ball bearing to. The good news is that you'll have a true multi-caliber setup, but the bad news is that accuracy is awful. I haven't been able to get any rounds on paper yet.
Your filling out registrationWhat exactly are are we filing out on the EFA. There section on manufacturer?
What About a Ar pistol build?
Brownell's also has a bunch of videos for those new to building their own and will take you though most of it
As mentioned above to build it in MA:
Good luck!
- Stock must be fixed or pinned
- No bayonet lugs
- No flash hider/suppressor
- If you use a muzzle break it must be pinned and welded
- FA-10 seven days after completing rifle to a point it can fire a round
