    I'm late on the curve but I'm thinking I should have some. For the hobby of it.

    I bought a 10 pack of 80% AR lowers from Tactical Machining and a Modulus Universal jig a little over a year ago. They finished up very nicely because everything was set up well and I took my time. Are you planning on using a router? I used a DWP611, and it handled the task pretty easily.

    For 80% AR's Jig wise the top 3 are about the same
    have all 3 of them.
    5D Tactical...if it works for you so be it it works but there are some aren't happy with them.
    5D Tactical Jig.....Skeleton side plates, Fiber Top Plate (not metal)
    80% Arms Easy Gen 3 Jig... Skeleton Side Plates Metal Top Plate
    Modulus Arms (New) Jig... Skeleton Side plates(new, Older ones were solid)
    Metal Top Plate

    In the order of use would be the:
    Modulus Arms, 80% Easy, then 5D Tactical

    There is a comparison here...rather long but...

    also he has a video running down the jig Maker(s) are probably the same..

    as lowers...look for
    Cerro Forging
    Anchor Harvey

    with the clock ticking the prices keep going up...crazy...
