Been researching cerakote/durakote, etc each seem to have pros/cons. I'm inclined to do something myself if possible. Still a lot to learn on this build process.

It would not surprise me if the leftest scumbags in Seattle, their bastard billionaires and shitheads in office in Olympia would now try to go after large capacity mags and AR15 types next just like their twin evil scum morphs in Sacramento have.

I'm late to the party but is anyone planning on doing a build party? I already have my 80% lower and jig but no bits/end mill bits or anything to drill or mill with. If no one is doing a party, will anyone be able to help me out?

If you ever make it to the Olympia area I can help you out with it. Your best bet is to buy an Anderson for 50 bucks. Hell they had Aero Precision ones as the Gun show for 70. Good luck with it.

Are you talking about getting another 80% lower? I doubt I'll be around Olympia anytime soon.

A serialized, stripped, ready to build lower is cheaper than an 80% lower. Unless you just want to do it for fun. It is kinda cool to be able to say you built it yourself. I do metal fab and machining for a living and it is still a pain in the ass to do it right.

It came with insurance in case I mess it up, they'll replace it...no questions. I don't remember the website but I'll find out if you want the info.

I got mine at Advancedrifles.com but unfortunately, it looks like the company shut down. (TACWAR) Hopefully I won't mess up my lower because there will be no replacing it by them.

Does anyone have one of those "ghost gun boxes"? The cnc mill that specifically mills out 80% lowers.

I could not agree with you more. There is no cheap and easy way to do this job. And I see no advantages. Milling an AR 80% lower is truly for the hobieist who just likes to make their own parts. I too did mine on a milling machine. Turned out great. But the 7/16 end mill cost me as much as the lower. Just those two parts. $120.00. So do your home work befor taking on this job. Oh and you if you've got an 80% lower you want to sell....send me a PM I might be interested
