Can someone point me in the direction of a faq on building a new at pistol? Is it as simple as milling an 80% lower And slapping a pistol upper on it? Tks in advance

Exactly what you just said. I suggest you use the search function before you get ripped a new one. -

There is some debate still, but I think many will agree that you must mill you 80%, assemble into a bolt action (or break top) single shot configuration, with bullet button, <10 rd mags.
After that some think it's OK to convert to semi-auto, others disagree. Do a lot of research and decide what you're comfortable with.https://www.activejunky.com/invite/132380

Needs to be made to comply with CA unsafe handgun laws, CA dangerous weapons laws, and CA zip gun laws.
Unless you will be making it into a semi-auto pistol with a chamber load indicator (CLI), magazine disconnect mechanism (MDM), microstamping array, and submitting it to CA DOJ to be tested, it will need to be made as a dimensionally compliant single-shot break-top or bolt-action pistol.
Therefore, when completed your "80% receiver" will need to have:
1. a minimum 6" barrel length
2. a minimum 10.5" overall length
3. a break-top action or a bolt-action
4. a maglock + 0 round magazines/sledsigpic
