I have been looking at the grizzly mills that can be upgraded to CNC. Its tought to know if an X2 class mill would handle most stuff like this, or if you need an X3 class. X2 is approx 500 and x3 is approx 1,000. The tooling and CNC kits are pretty close to the same cost for both.

I am sure the X2 would handle anything AR since that is Aluminum. I am more trying to understand if if would be possible to use it to do something like mill a 1911 frame or something. (I know you would have to go slow as hell, ie many passes) Something like a 1911 frame is about the most complicated thing I can imagine myself actually trying.

Most 80% receivers are over priced, but your time, and equipment cost are not worth much if you can beat Tactical Machining.
