I ordered an 80% Arms Easy Jig Gen 2 Multi Platform with Tooling from 80-Lower.com about a month ago.
No complaints... the promised estimated shipping date hasn't been missed yet.

My question is: for those who have dealt with them, should I expect them to ship as promised (within a week or two from now)?

There's so much other useful info on this forum, I figured some of you would have experience.

Background: we own a M1A, an Armalite AR-10 and a Colt M4 Carbine, but these 80% lowers will be our first builds.

Thanks. All geared up and ready to rout some aluminum when the jig arrives...

And... it's shipping today, a few days sooner than the 5 weeks they originally quoted.
So far, my review of 80-Lower.com is: they keep their promises.

Glad to hear it, ordered mine about a week ago. Can’t wait until it comes in.

I ordered mine yesterday and it's already shipping today... Am I just super lucky or did they suddenly get in a huge order of them? I thought i would be waiting at least 4-6 weeks due to demand.

I had a very positive experience with 80-lower.com.

It was just over two years ago.  Winter/spring of 2016.   Obama was the Prez, and most everybody expected Hillary to be the next President.  80-lower was swamped with orders.

Ordered an easy jig and three lowers, in case I messed up one.  It was at at time when they were struggling to get in supply from their suppliers, and doing their best to ship on time, or close to it.

Shipment was delayed, but email communication was excellent.

I messed up the first one, but their jig messed up the second one.  I sent good pics that showed the issue, and they sent me a new jig and another lower--no argument and no issues, at all.   I showed them the problem, they agreed and made it right.

When a small company does that at a time when they are swamped with orders, struggling to manage their suppliers, and working lots of overtime to get out orders, I'm impressed.

So, i figured out a few things (use a GOOD drill press, but not necessarily a new one.  A 1950's one for $50 from Craigslist might work just great.);  use a shop vac to vacuum up the MILLIONS of aluminum shavings, . . .  and otherwise follow their advice about the router, and taking your time, etc., and you should have a good experience.  It IS a fun learning experience.

Since my experience, they have greatly improved those jigs, and I expect that with a good drill press and router, and patience and attention to detail, you will also have a good experience with those guys.
