a little story about replica firearms and police of this year.
I just don't want any hassle because i enjoy the sport of airsoft but because of future career choice cannot afford any hassles if it comes to charges or even potential notebooks entries.
I know a lot of people probably get away with it all the time and have no problem getting away with it but I feel it would be better to play it safe rather than sorry.
This discussion is getting off topic I would prefer just to get the answer to the original question asked whether it can be done or if there is a lower reciever sold.
thanks

Read the story you posted.
Theses are BB guns that where retro-fitted into real AK receivers. One would simply need to strip the gun and install a real barrel and bolt to have a complete, functional AK. The reason why it was recovered is that the receiver is one from a full-auto rifle that is on the NO-GO list (prohibited firearms list).
You CANNOT install the required components into a KA M4 to make it a firearm. The dimensions are off and nothing will fit. Because of some other regulations, it is also legal to have and import (with some work) in Canada.
Then again, technically you could modify a metal airsoft rifle into a firearm, but it would be easier and way more cost effective to just make one out of a 6061 aluminum block. That is illegal because modifying or making a firearm receiver without the appropriate license/authorization is illegal, not because of the base material.
