80% AR Lower CNC in San Diego

[AIMSMALL]

This is not a build party thread. There is nothing for sale in this thread.

If you are interested in an 80% or other products please see my sales threads in the marketplace.

Please try and avoid discussion of group buys here (See above). I'd like to keep this thread in the gunsmithing area

That being said, if you happen to have any AR lowers you've recently finished post up some pictures!

Check it out guys!

Questions I often get.
1. Do I need to register it if I build a pistol?

2. Can I register it/should I register it?

3. I know I should put a manufacturer name and city, and SN#, model # and caliber info to prove that its mine.

4. Since I want to build a pistol, once they are finished can I legally buy a pistol upper even though it is not dros'ed.

Answers
1= NO
2= Yes/only if you want to. (no benifit IMHO)
3= Putting info on it is a good idea so you can ID it if it's ever stolen but is not required by law. If you ever wanted to sell it in the future it MUST have City/State, MFG, SER#, MOD, and caliber info engraved in it.
4= Yes. You can also buy a pistol upper before you finsh the 80's if you do not own any AR rifles.

5= I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.


More pics to follow as progress allows.

Is that your mill or did you find someone to rent it out to you?

Either way, that's how you do it. I am curios what your cycle time was for the FCG pocket and trigger slot.

When using a CNC machine, do you still need a jig?

15 min for FCG pocket, 5 min for trigger hole, approximately.

yes, to hold the lower in the vice, if you look at the pics you can see the jig is in there.

No it's not! It's more like an unfair advantage but definately not cheating

[tujungatoes]

AimSmall, which 80's are you using and where do I get 'em?....group buy!?

[Roccobro]

6 hours on a manual mill vs. 24 min on the cnc. I'll cheat. Thanks for letting me be a part of the first batch. I'll be posting photos of my pistol soon, hopefully.

Your kidding right? I train mechanically DEclined guys, and from start of teaching to finishing doesn't take 3 hours.
