They need to have the other 20% work done to them to make them functional. They are not firearms, because, they aren't, yet. A hunk of metal in the shape of a receiver. Milling/drilling have to be done to complete the process, then assembling them into a functioning firearm. That's why they're not classified as such by the BATF.
