80% lowers

I honestly would have been better off with 2 regular anodized 80 lowers or 1 9mm 80 lower
I’m just saving the remaining 5 to jew on Armslist at the next panic

Yes, you have to do the work. With the jog, you only need a router and hand drill. You don't need and fancy router and you should own a hand drill already. Watch some vids on yuotube.

Wisearms.com had a sale on billet 80% lowers last week for 39.99 for raw and 49.99 for cerakote. They are good to go

dont pretend to be me bro

You are faggot that shouldn't own guns

Fuck man, I ordered from Wise a while back and the package came in smashed and with a hole in it. Lucky nothing fell out.

Does a regular EZ jig have compatibility with all types or does it have to be something specific to the model?
I'm looking to do a Colt 9mm dedicated lower.

have a question as a noguns faggot
can you just buy an 80% lower, mil it yourself as a fun little project, then buy the rest of an AR without having to go through the trouble of talking to a dealer?

you can order upper kits and im pretty sure there are lower kits without the receiver. so yeah you get an unregistered rifle that wont cause you any problems in case a grab happens

80percentarms page for the hogs give you a bit of a rundown.
I don’t know about Gen1, but gen 2 is supposed to work for all known lowers

That is literally what they are for and how they work.
Buy an 80% lower, an AR build kit, A jig and a router and have fun.
You don’t save money really, but it is a lot of fun and good for people with issues like no cheap transfers from a good FFL

I've ordered from them multiple times with zero issues, ez jig pro does everything ar9ar-15and ar10

Why do you need 5,6,7,8, etc lowers? I never really understood that. I have 3 ars, a 20” A2 clone, a 16” A4 style, and am in the process of building a sub-moa rifle. It’s not like lowers go bad though or suffer a lot of wear and tear - I don’t get the people stocking up on dozens of them like they need 20 unbuilt AR15s for the boogaloo (like they were the last election period). I think you’d be better off on having a few different completed uppers, perhaps some small parts maintenance kits, and a 15-20 pmags

people do like to have a lot of AR builds because the platform is versatile. for some people it could be an investment or they could be paranoid and what to have as many as they can get in case they become unavailable for some reason. having your own supply feels good and gives you a sense of independence. can also be good for gifts or maybe people just like milling them. theres a reason people do it even if you cant see it

how hard is it to do?

Initially, it was because they thought they could end up with more grandfathered guns in the event of a ban. Or more unfinished lowers to finish if unfinished lowers are banned. But it's a meme now, so you have a lot of people hoarding lowers for reasons they cannot explain.

Anyone have quality source for 80% AR47 lowers?
Every search result I get seems to be discontinued or out of stock.
Also would be appreciative of any tips/experience with them.

With a good jig like Ez Jig Gen 2 or a 5D jig it’s very easy. Just watch a few YouTube videos and go slow, one step at a time.

Reminder to never do it over carpet.

ZR tactical is interesting because they copied some of Aero precisions M4E1 enhancements like a threaded bolt catch retainer.
zrtacticalsolutions.com/product-category/products/zrts-firearm-parts/arparts/
They have a few 80% options from $35-60 I like the look of the billet style one which they have blems of.

>why
SHALL

The last pack of Thunder tactical 80’s I got had this also

Thanks for sharing
Never heard of them. Was about to buy an AR stoner 9mm 80lower from Midway for ~$140. Just backordered a pair of picrelated. Hopefully they ship out pretty soon.

The American Made Tactical jig is AIDS. The lowers themselves are fine.

If you are going through the effort of getting a jig, there is no point in cheaping out.
Get one that does AR9,AR15 and AR10s with just a router and hand drill.
I got a Modulus Arms Heavy Duty jig.
It’s great, but can’t do AR10’s and needs a drill press.
Then I upgraded to an EZJig Gen2 multi platform (which is great)
I Wish I had just got a 5D jig that did everything from the beginning.

Best price I've heard of, as long as shipping was below $27.

I've honestly thought about packing my jig and bits and sending it to people. Send it back when done or send to the next person that needs it.

>need
I don't remember seeing that word in the second amendment

I wonder if we could do something like how PTG chamber reamers are loaned out for a deposit + small fee.
I have a Modulus Jig w/ tooling I haven’t used in over a year I was thinking about selling, but circulating it would be good.

Is 6061 aluminum good to go like 7075? Is it not being as tough even noticeable at all when it's used in a lower?

The lower isn’t a high stress area. Should be fine, unless your expecting random outside forces to compress your gun.

maybe you want peace of mind that your children and their children will be able to own them?

>Why do you need
are you new here?

I think the original design was 6061 but they changed to 7075 in vietnam because of some jungle related issue

Dude they literally make polymer 80% lowers.

Which 80% lower would be best for an M4 clone?

Which jigs will make M-16 spec lowers?

Unnecessary hoarding is just what low IQs do, they literally can't help it

there is literally no distinct possibility or scenario where someone with a couple extra lowers doesn't have a couple extra lowers. its complete independence and freedom meanwhile you have all the eggs in one basket. somehow its a low iq move?

There’s a difference between a couple extra lowers, and a dozen extra lowers. PSA was literally selling 10 packs of them in 2016

>if you don't have a dozen lowers you'll never use, all your eggs are in one basket!
Again, the low IQ hoarding mentality of collecting extraneous objects thinking one day they might come in handy. Spend the money on ammo user.

Theoretically made a hole for the safety switch and theoretically fucked up the hole so when its in place it's kind of slanted like \, now theoretically i took it out to see if it worked and the damn thing froze up in theory and wouldn't budge, if this were to happen could i just remove the safety selector? Does it hold anything else in place?

christmas presents, duh

NOT

IMPINGED

theres nothing low iq about having extras of a valuable item that isnt guaranteed to be as easily obtainable and available on the market as it is now. the fact that you dont have spare lowers is low iq

go back to plebbit you worthless, brainless, gutless, shiftless, spineless, scrupleless, kike fucking double nigger.

That's a real living person with a life you just said that too. They were born, they have a mother and a father, maybe a sister or brother. They had birthday parties and went to school and enjoyed Christmas dinner with their family. Maybe they're married and have their children. Either way it's a real breathing person with hopes and desires. They speak the same language you do and breathe the same air you do. And just like you, some day they'll stop breathing air and take their last breath, never to breathe again for all of eternity and all of endless infinite time in this plane of existence. That's who they are and it's not much different from you. Yet you decided to come on here and say to them "go back to plebbit you worthless, brainless, gutless, shiftless, spineless, scrupleless, kike fucking double nigger." Please maybe take a second and think before you speak. It might just make someone's precious day.

Fuck off and take your stale pasta with you.

go back to plebbit you worthless, brainless, gutless, shiftless, spineless, scrupleless, kike fucking double nigger.

Billet rifle systems has a ar47 lower that accepts ak mags for 7.62x39. Although it's a proprietary system. The bolt, upper and lower all have to be a brs47 system. So far it's the only one I've found in stock.

Is there an affordable option for someone who just wants to do 1 80% build for fun? I have a bunch of ARs already, but I want to have the experience of doing an 80% build without spending hundreds on jigs I'm only going to use once.

lowers are not a wear item. do you also stockpile sheets of drywall or forks and spoons?

buy a used jig and resell it. i might do an 80% build but like you said, spending $200+ on a jig is fucking retarded. reselling it is a way to recover some of this loss.

If you have a drill press and tools already you can find cheap clamp together type jigs for fairly reasonable price.
newfrontierarmory.com/product/complete-80-jig-kit/

An AR-15 pattern one.
An M4 upper would prove difficult to mate with an AR10 lower.

None of the mainstream ones. There’s some guy that 3D prints plastic guide jigs for use with a milling machine bit they are very expensive for a little piece of plastic (like $125-175) but you will have to send him documentation proving you are SOT

Why mill it out? You have a machinegun as is.

Not one that’s very safe or legal(probably)

I have enough money for both man, do you really think the guys buying 5-10 lowers aren't the same people stockpiling ammo? I've got 8k 5.56 and 10k 9mm plus my .308, .22, and shotgun stash and my collection of weird calibers, Ammo won't be a problem for me.

It's barely different than the M231

That sounds good enough to me, thanks dudes. I'm going to look up that jungle issue and see what I can find.

how much does all the equipment cost to make all these anyway? can someone without metal experience do it on a weekend day?

Why aren't there 90% lowers so I can just drill the hole?

What stops a person from buying a $200 3d printer and printing out infinite nylon lowers? From what I've seen they seem to work well.

the fact that 3D printing is a pain in the ass and Nylon lowers only run aabout 500-1,000 rounds before collapsing.
3D printers are fun, but they're a lot more complex than "push button, receive product". My Creality CR10S tells me so anyway

This is something I've been looking at recently but with the cost of the uni jigs, it seems counter productive for just a few rifles. Anybody have any experience with cutting their own jigs? I've found a few 10 and 15 schematics online and short of the jig being maybe 2-3 time use, it seems feasible.

>openbolt FA only 556
>exposed “sear”
>no safety
It’s worse than the Nambu

>100 dollars per set
unless you plan on making multiple ARs this isn't worth added cost. anyone got any cheaper alternative?

dollars per set
>Only need one set
Cough up the money if you want a ghost gun or stop being poor.

Here's a cheaper route posted earlier.
comes out to 75 shipped. You'll need a hand drill, a drill press and a vice.
Dont wanna pay a little more to be able to make your own when you see fit then go purchase one at your ffl or find some shithead on armslist to deal with.

Would this work on a 9mm bolt?

Sounds worth it to me for an unregistered AR

>t. criminal who cant go to an FFL

why are 80% lowers at best the same price as a completed lower. why is it that an unifnished 80% lower is the same price as an anderson finished lower that isn't being sold by sweaty ben or other jews for far more than it's worth?

My opinion?
Economy of scale. It’s a somewhat specialty product.
There’s probably 500 complete lowers sold for each 80%

>too
not 'to'
fuck off, igmo

Who the fuck goes to an FFL?

>Them digits
Chek'd and this. When the boomers die off, guns shops are gonna dry up while gun ownership skyrockets. kek

>mfw even brick and mortar gun shops become extinct like department stores due to online shops

Go back

why do lowers cost what they do then? if the economy of scale is really as big as you say then why aren't lowers 10 dollars each? is it just price control so the people making them can make money?

When the happening finally happens, how many rounds do you think you’ll get off before you become a casualty? I feel like if you’re in the shit, you’d be extremely lucky to get off 600-900 rifle rounds before you get hit, and 0 pistol rounds. Unless you’re just hoarding for the inevitable price increase.
I’m not knocking you, because I hoard/reload for the reason of cost

See that would be epic. I wouldn’t want you to on here, but if I knew you I’d drop it back off at your house with some ammo for your trouble or something.

It’s NOT illegal for someone else to do it as the laws concerning that are NOT constitutional

You should be the test case.

Stripped lowers used to be almost unobtainable. I can remember when plain old forged ones were +$300 and the only way you would ever see them was if someone parted out an AR. They have come down in price 10fold.
80’s (when they first came out) were also expensive and WAYYYY harder to finish. They didn’t even have the buffer tube treads cut or the hole drilled for the bolt release pin. You had to have a machine shop to finish those. I remember one guy selling them for like +$250 but only wanted to be paid in gold coins (KT-15 A if I recall) You just couldn’t find them.

not him but no one buys 80% lower packs for the happening. they buy it for when lowers are hard to get your hands on which is a much more likely situation

Yeah
Like the smart fellas though bought a shoebox full of lighting links in the early 80’s

damn. well i guess i won't look at PSA rasing their stripped lowers by 10 dollars as so bad. thanks for that little glimpse of history.
the only problem i'm having is that the gun store i want to get my stripped lower sent to won't respond to my emails and phone's busted.

do you guys know if i have to contact the FFL before getting the gun shipped to them?
