Gorilla Machining runs sales a lot. I got some two ago for little less than $30 each. They were already on sale, then the more you buy, the cheaper the price was. Also free shipping after certain amount. I got 6 to my door for less then $180 They are pretty nice other than they are Fire and Safe marked which I don't like. https://www.gorillamachining.com/AR-15-80-Lower-Receiver-Anchor-Harvey-Raw-Aluminum-Gorilla-Machining_p_688.html |

That is bad ass. I’d get the lower in red and color fill white to match my red anodized upper and hand guard. Nice fellow OR bro. Nice. |

I might do red with a green flash hider  This new laser does some fantastic aluminum engraving. Some aluminum practice runs. Attached File |

Quoted: Very cool- I love Sriracha sauce.  I really want a laser but I'd end up playing with it and everything I own would end up with goofy engravings on it.  I've been engraving all of my tools. Lol Threatened my wife that I would label all the utensils that she keeps taking to work and leaving there

Quoted: I'm thinking of offering custom engraved 80s. My new laser does amazing detail. Quoted: Quoted: Sweet. I cut my billet one with Freefall's 5D jig. It came out perfectly. If you don't need all ten in that deal let me know and I may get one from you. I'm thinking of offering custom engraved 80s. My new laser does amazing detail. Attention grabbed... ETA: Had a crude rollmark drawn out once. By no means nothing fancy. Might still be floating around the tollbox in the garage somewhere, no idea... |

Not as cool as a laser to etch your roll marks, but this place still shows the mattel masking film in his lineup. He might do colt, if you ask. I guess they became litigious over use of their logo. http://www.dogfightink.com/80percentlowersmarkings.html I prefer the 1969+ logo. I am temped to get one of the Xtool lasers. They come with a 10 or 20W head, but now they have an upgrade to 40W. |
