Kristof Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hi folks New guy here. Newer owned any AR. We have a CNC machine available and I decided to build myself a AR10 6.5 creedmoore. I purchased 80% Gen 1 DPMS raw billet upper and lower receiver. Did some research online and saw some guns sold as skeletonized. I like the look so my question is can I do it same with my upper and lower receiver? Or these companies use thicker/stronger material to make them? Nothing crazy just couple slots so I can see my bolt carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4kpg Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I looked at skeletonized AR’s at Palmetto State and the receivers don’t look any thicker than ones without material cut out of them. I would think you should be fine, especially since you’re only planing a couple slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 OP, what's your goal in cutting the receivers? Weight loss? Or to look different? Define what it is that you want to achieve, first, instead of just soliciting opinions on cutting them up. I think it has zero value, but I have no idea what you're trying to do here.
