What did you build yourself
OK I did a search and in general there's nothing that I can find that is general to just building without it being specific so I thought I would do this instead. Considering I have been building a lot lately and I know there's a bunch of you that are doing the same here you are. And I am in the process of finishing up the other half of my Spartan 80% build so here we go.

Re: What did you build yourself
Very nice, love the oil rubbed bronze look (looks like my kitchen fixtures).
Just finished my first 80% build in April. Nothing spectacular but I did it all myself, it works, and I do like the Kryptek finish.

Thanks!
I've added a flip-up rear sight since and moved the optic forward on the rail...actually a lot more when I line up TWO sights plus an optic target. :D
Not bad for my first try and milling is actually both fun and a few relaxing hours alone in the garage.
Have a second one milled out for an AR pistol now.

Re: What did you build yourself
milling out my own lowers is what I love it opens up so many options you can buy 80% custom ambi lowers billet etc for a fraction of the price you pay for a finished one. I always keep a few extra you know just in case.

Re: What did you build yourself
Nice brian, those have a good bit of hole prep and rivet smashing. Did you do them by hand or with an air hammer?
Re: What did you build yourself
by hand, heated them red and had at it....it was the milling of the bolt parts that was a real bitch, that stuff was seriously hardened.
Re: What did you build yourself
Gotcha
I just beat mine into submission w/o the heat. I tried a few test rivets with an air hammer, good way to make tracks on a receiver and look like crap lol
Yeah you are not kidding. Harder than woodpecker lips.
Uzi bolts are the same.
