Not only does this 80%er have the trigger pocket milled out instead of the magwell, but it also seems to be milled out for machine gun parts (i.e. extended rear pocket, auto sear pin holes).  What's up with that?


THAT is a M-16 receiver, PERIOD!


Looks more like a single-shot receiver to me.    (I'm not ordering one 'til NOLO wins, though.)

The older style 80% w/ a solid magwell sure would make things easier if one had an ARES belt fed upper or a .50" BMG upper.  Tap the buffer tube boss and you're in business.

Brazed mine together.  No arc welding.  Had to modify two of the plates slightly to make the mag catch work properly and to improve the magazine fit.  No big deal though.

Russ4777, do you or anyone else for that matter have the details on the parts needing modifications?  I want to tig one, it should come out pretty clean, I'd like the milling to be clean too.  

I've seen mention of it, but haven't seen the exact specs anywhere yet.  This is as good of a place as any.

As you can see, Russ milled the inside of the magwell for the magazine latch bump on the magazine.  He also milled a bit out of the action sideplate so the magazine latch can sit deeper in the well.

Give me a few, let me see if I can come up w/ the two threads from last year or so.

IIRC, there also needs to be some extra material welded in for the safety detent hole, and some folks welded in some extra material in the back on either side of the upper's rear takedown lug.

ETA:  I've been meaning to ask you, Russ, did you have to use a spacer in the bottom of your buffer tube, since it doesn't screw into the receiver all the way?  Nvm, it wasn't you.  You used a proper tap.

The mods I made to the side plates are clearly depicted in the photos above and described by BackBencher.  I don't have the dimensions.  They are self-evident as you tack weld the thing together and start trial fitting the lower parts.  I did add some extra small plates where the rear takedown lug enters the lower.  The opening was WAY too wide and yes I had to add some additional material to accommodate the safety detent hole.  I tapped the receiver extension boss all the way through.  A standard tube fits perfectly.
This picture shows the interior mods/added pieces.



I just noticed in this picture that I had to machine a small amount from the floor of the rear portion of the fire control pocket to give the trigger more reset travel.

Is that lower supposed to be a different color?  Or is it just your camera's flash or something?  The anodizing has an almost bronze color to it in those pictures.

Yeah, maybe it is supposed to be OD?  Camera flashes and different monitors can make the colors look all off compared to what they look like IRL.

[Last Edit: shootertim] [#16]
Man, it's my old Kodak. but the FDE of just about every part of the rifle is a different shade. I think the flash has screwed up the color. It's really hard to get an accurate picture with this camera,  Here's what the whole rifle looks like. these pic are closer to representing the real color...but they are not perfect. As you can see the upper looks more copper or bronze then anything, the hand guard almost matches the furniture, the lower is a bit off, these pictures more represents the true color....All in all, I'm happy with it though.

Link Posted: 4/14/2016 12:39:45 PM EDT
[#17]
Yeah, it is the camera or flash.  The right side and left side pictures the color looks completely different.  One side looks bronze and very shiny like the previous pics, the other side you can tell it is green.  Matching some of these colors can be very difficult as there is no universally accepted hard and fast standards as to what OD or FDE or any of those colors are.  Different part makers produce different shades even when they use the same names and some things can vary from lot to lot or even part to part.

They are now labeled as cerakoted, they weren't when I bought mine. So I imagine my lower is Cerakoted FDE.

I couldn't agree more. That is the one thing I look for when purchasing a lower. I messed up a couple of lowers from TR-Enabling when I first started the 80% game. I machined out the rear lug area too wide and any side to side movement locked up the BCG rearward travel. I ended up filling them back in with aluminum epoxy and re-machining them out. They look like shit but it fixed the side to side movement.

I recently purchased an 80% lower from Fedarm and the rear lug area was out of spec and did not allow the upper to close on the lower at all. The area that would have been left between the trigger pocket and rear lug was hitting the rear lug of the upper. I had to disassemble the lower and machine out that area. Not a big deal but frustrating.

Mora of the story, make sure the lower is in spec.

I saw that thread. That got me wondering about the JB Weld. I saw some promotional videos on it and they stated as long as the metal had a sufficient roughness it would flow into all the pores and scratches and create a permanent bond.

Got close though.  Down the road I'd like to braze an AR .308" one.  I'd like to repeat Randall Rausch's experiment of putting an Armalite upper on a DPMS lower.

I will keep an eye on that. 200 is a bit much for me right now. Iconic is having a 4th sale. $80 per lower. I'm gonna pick up one for sure.

Found these a year ago or so. Bolt catch pin is a threaded hex head so no dealing with that damn catch pin or having to tape up the lower to install, takes two seconds with this lower.

Talk about bad timing . Yeah they are a small company and really haven't advertised it. I pre-ordered months ago and they are about 2mo past the originally given release date. I've always wanted an AK mag pattern AR. I was ex Utes for the CMMG mutant till I found out it was an intermediate between AR-15 and AR-10. Then I was excited about the PSA KS-47, however I refuse to be an early adopter of anything they make after seeing how the PA-10 and PSA AK-47 release went.

Have you shot your build yet? The Palmetto KS-47 is having cycling issues with any pressure on the magazine (but seems to cycle fine with no pressure on the mag). I'm curious if the BRS-47 has this issue sorted, or if it may have similar issues.

I still haven't finished my BRS-47 due to my sandblast cabinet.

I built a filter that fits inside the cabinet, and changed out the light fixture.
Once I get the lights attached, then I can blast the receiver, cerakote it, and finish it up.
