PM if you want to use a mill...

[hawaii five-0]

If its your first try,you HAVE to fininish it... Only you will know its there.

RUN IT!!!!!!!!!!! It will still work, just dont drop the hammer without the upper attached and a carrier in it.

FYI welding if it is 7075 is not a good suggestion. The weld will crack and make the area weaker then if left alone.

JB tach weld. hehe

[jink122]

hehe = joking. Dont think it'll hold with the heat.

If you need to use a mill, PM me. I have all the TM jigs / plates. It will only cost you the gas to drive up here.

It's still ok!

Colfax will be happy with me, they'll sell another 80% lower. At least someone's happy.

What exactly is there left to do on one of their 80% lowers?

Yikes, as a soon to be first timer myself, I was wondering if removing the Al in levels would be just fine, like how you drink water from a cup where it is full, 3/4 full, half full, then empty.

Sorry to thread jack.

[guns4life]

Ship it to me, it's useless now...I'll recycle it for you.

[tankerman]

Still would like to know what's left to do on those 80%'ers.

Safety hole, trigger pins and fire control pocket.

Safety hole, trigger pins and fire control pocket.

If anyone's wondering, I HIGHLY recommend drilling the safety hole and trigger/hammer pins FIRST ... I did mine the other way around and the mill didn't like it a whole lot.. it worked, but the other way would have been friendlier.
