ni0h Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) A few years ago a friend wanted to do an 80% lower. Since he lived in an apartment in town, he had noplace of his own where he could spend hours running a handheld router, and I let him use my garage(still finding aluminum shavings). After he bought and ruined 3 blanks, he bought 2 to give me one (then he ruined that and one more and then the one he got right when he tried to build). The process was quick and easy for me, and ever since that lower's been sitting in my gun safe, with the potential to become my first centerfire rifle. I finally ordered a completion kit in early March advertised to be compatible with 80% arms lowers. I've worked through several errors from the vendor and in working out cycling problems, found confirmation of what I had concluded, this site (thanks, 98Z5V). Still not 100% so there'll be at least one question. edit: I should explain - "ni0h" is my amateur radio callsign, a globally-unique identifier for me under international treaty, which tells those who know where to look that I'm Tim Conway in Frederick, Colorado. Just introducing myself by that seemed a bit rude. 😄 Edited June 19, 2020 by ni0h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out I never posted my question on that thread anyway, so I did start my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
