Well, what a long ordeal. Started 5pm Friday and finished Saturday 7pm.
-10" Skill drill press
-bits
-end mills
-press vice
-clamps
-couple beers
So this was my first one and of course I'm a noob. I just heard of 80% lowers 3 weeks ago from my brother.
Bought the lowers and jig from Daytona Tactical. Wilson Arms complete upper, Anderson trigger and generic Mil-Spec butt from JSE Surplus. I went a cheap since this was my first one.
It will be awhile until I build another. Fingers, hands and forearms are worn out fighting the end mill bits.
As for the jig, I don't think it was the best idea. After the fact I saw youtube Broken Arms. A lot more jig parts but it looks like a better jig, of course at lot more $$
I think I'm going to try 80% G150 P2 Polymer in a 300 BLK config.
