Sounds like we have a pretty good group to have a 80% Party! There are 9 in this thread interested, plus I have a friend that wants in also, so we're up to 10...

Let's think about something for March or April. I say we get some numbers and see if we can get a large order of 80's together. I already have some, but am going to get a couple more also.

If that's how we're doing it, I'm definitely in.

If someone can get some lowers I'd be interested.

If anyone wants to see my Quentin 80%, I can take some more pics.
Maybe we could backordered the 10 for $900 if there is enough interest.

I would be interested in 2-3 if we go this route

Requested to join group.

I'm in for 3 for myself, and 2 friends that will probably be in for 5 between the two of them. (One is a recent member here, but long time lurker)

If you are in on this and are looking for 80% lowers, please check the Google Group that was started and reply there. We have some positive movement on this, so it would be nice to get it going.

Thanks,

David

In all seriousness I guess I could bring it down, it's just anchored to the floor, simple to pull some bolts toss it in the bed of my pickup and I have a garage in tooele county we could use. Bit tough unloading if from my pickup and all the rest of my tools are on the farm of course. I guess if someone could chime in what exactly what would be needed I could load it up too as I am sure I have everthing we could need.
I am no milling master but it looks like all we would need is a set of end mills and clamping tools?

You are welcome to come and bring whatever tools you would like! I will defer the 'what we need' to Kevin as it sounds like he has some experience on the mill side of this.

Once we get the lowers buy worked out, we can start looking at dates of when to do this. Looks like probably the end of February or into March. If this all works out, sounds like we will have a few mills and a few drill presses to work with. WIth the number of lowers we are talking about, looks like we might need them...

I fave a nice mill but little experiance running it, just farm stuff. You are welcome to use it though, although it is in SE Idaho.

From Sun Devil MFG Facebook page on Wednesday the 16th:

Interested in an 80%? They should be available late february for $114.95

ETA: They are billet so they do cost more. I have one of theirs and it is very nice.

Applied to be a part of the "Cool Kidz Group"

Thanks for the heads up Dan. I guess I should read more threads here on the local board.....

I have applied for the google group as well.

I've been searching for an 80% build party for a while. I applied to the group if it's not too late.

Posted: 2/6/2013 2:40:30 PM EDT

[#35]

I won't say we aren't doing this anymore, but the Group Buy idea kind of fell by the wayside because of no vendors in supply or making themselves available to us to do it. We did talk to about 15 different suppliers and have some info on the Google Group, so you are more than welcome to read it and see if it helps. Hopefully when more of the dust settles and manufacturers are able to catch up on demand, people can get some 80's and we can do a full blown build party....

As of right now, this has kind of stalled until more get their lowers...

Posted: 2/6/2013 2:43:23 PM EDT

I've had mine over a year now, slackers.

With this being what it is, it might be worth getting our orders in, confirming our estimated wait times, then doing a "build party" after we all receive ours?

I might just pull the trigger on a couple from Ares Defense and at least get them en route.

Well I'm in this for the long haul. If things work out down the road I still want to participate. This is something I've wanted to try for a long time but don't trust myself to do it without help. Will be on the lookout for somewhere that gets some inventory.

Posted: 2/15/2013 9:25:15 AM EDT

[#40]

I build a few 20% lowers with Dan and they turned out really well! When 80%ers start showing up again I'd like to build a few more.
