80% AR Jig

[jmshuck]

A friend of mine bought an 80% lower and decided to avoid the hassle and buy a cheap stripped lower instead. He then gave me this 80% and I want to go ahead and finish it... does anyone have a jig I could borrow? pm or email thanks!

what does an 80% lower consist of? or maybe a better question is, what does it NOT consist of?

I don't have a jig *yet*, but I have been thinking about trying an 80% project, along with my own hard-anodizing.

These are 80% lowers from two big manufacturers. If we can get a few people together that want to do this, maybe we could have a drilling/milling party and split the cost of the jig.

I work in a machine shop-job shop/repair shop and I like making tooling for something like this! If someone had 1 or drawings for the fixture I could make it given some time. Never know when I will be busy or sitting round twidling my thumbs.....

Is there some sort of appeal to these 80% lowers other than not needing to go through an FFL, and no paper trail? How much experience does one need to complete it? Assuming they have access to a milling machine of course.
