Always struttin' yer stuff!

 

Anybody in here ever purchase and finish a 80% lower ? Asking for a friend.

 

Boom

 

Seriously thinking this may be the route to go ,small investment in jigs and bits

 

What jig set did you go with

 

I went with an Easy Jig. Wasn't too hard but took a long time with a Makita trim router. They have MUCH better jigs available now.

 

Yeah I’ve seen cheap ones to some over 200 bucks

 

Buying lowers is most cost effective by far. Building guns is fun but it doesn't save you any money. In fact it costs more. There is a desktop CNC machine called a Ghost Gunner available as well, but it is way more pricey than a jig. I think the Ghost Gunner is in the $1,500 range. Group buy??

 

Also consider buying an HBAR cash and carry in a private sale while you still can.

 

I this point I’m not looking at it to save money my motive is they can’t take what they don’t know about.

 

I get it. When Tactical Machining was selling 80% forged lowers for $29 I got quite a few.

 

I can’t remember who but the cheapest 80% I’ve found was about 59 bucks but I also haven’t spent a whole lot of time looking yet

 

More then likely I will just get a stripped lower at this point to complete this pistol build .But I am definitely considering investing in the jig for future builds .

 

You can get an HBAR with no MSP paperwork. Also since not a handgun (AR pistol legally a handgun) the vehicle transport laws are more in your favor.

 

Have this 1 already

 

Who me? You guys have the nice new vehicles. Newest vehicle i own is a 2004. And the only reason i could afford one that new is because it needed a motor!

 

I miss my ep3

 

Ended up going to green ridge, I was literally the only person there. Not a single other camper on the roster. Got down to the teens at night and I took the wrong sleeping bag.

 

I'm not as hard core as you. I need my little camper with heat & a warm bed.
