80% arms lists the NFA 80% as not compatible. I believe the modulus arms jig fits though.

Quoted: So I bought 2 New Frontier Armory 80% lowers for a buddy and myself several weeks back. Yesterday, my 80% Arms Univeral Easy-Jig arrived, and I excitedly put it together to check the fit.
That's when I found out that the "universal" jig...wasn't. The fencing around the mag well on the New Frontier lowers prevents the jig from fitting. So now I have a few choices; Grind away at the jig to make it fit. I only have a dremel to use for this. I'm waiting to hear back from 80% Arms to see how that would impact fit on other lowers. Buy different lowers. Buy different jig. Are there any other jigs that are as simple as the Easy-Jig? It has drill bit guides so I can use a hand drill, and it has a platform to set my router on (I don't have a drill press). You seem to have forgotten the option of grinding away the NFA mag well fencing. It's an plastic aluminum lower. Easier to grind w/ the Dremel than the precision aluminum steel jig you will use many times over. ETA: I stand corrected. My mistake. Was thinking of the NFA plastic 100% lower and conflated it w/ the new EP Armory 80% plastic: http://www.eparmory.com/Polymer-80-Lower-Receiver-s/1881.htm |

It's not plastic. It's 7075 Aluminum. And the jig is steel. |

Quote HistoryThat's for use with a drill press...which I don't have. It would have been a good option, though. |

Not plastic, the NFA 80% is a 7075-T6 billet.
