    So, my friend got me into guns and well here it is now.. At first it was suppose to be a budget build but i started to like the fancy accessories.

    What starting an 80% looks like, if your buying the 805 Arms jig. I have never really drilled into metal but the bits 80% Arms provide on their website work perfectly..

    (When drilling out the lower receiver it was easier for me to start the drill press while already inside the hole I was about to drill out.)

    Looks good but got a little scuffed during the milling process.. I recommend using tape or something to prevent scratches.

    Its my first time "machining". Take your time! Best results if you take your time, I rushed myself..

    I used this jig and these tools.


    What the longest-hardest process is..

    It has parts from Palmetto, Joe Bob outfitters, and of course 80% Arms. Awesome project and fun to build.

    Machining, building and shooting your own rifle is a great accomplishment. Good for you.
