The 5D jig should do a deeper pocket. Just leave the #1 pins in and set the depth to the #2 setting. How deep you go before using the #2 pins is up to you.

This is a basic picture of what I am talking about. I am looking for a jig that will be able to do pockets. It DOES NOT have to be able to drill the Auto Sear hole, but if it does, I won't complain lol. |

They are out there. I remember seeing them somewhere years ago bit honestly dont remember the site.
If you have access to a mill its basically just going a little deeper and making the inner walls flush. Dont really think you even need a jig for it |

It has been a few years since I have seen any M16 jigs being sold, you can still get the sear hole jig, I see them various places every once in a while.
Milling a M16 spec lower is not difficult, if you have the drawings. There are a few companies that are selling low shelf receivers. One thing to remember that possessing certain combinations of parts can be charged as constructive possession and land you in jail for a long time with big fines. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think it would do a deeper pocket, but the actual dimensions of the M16 Fire Control Group's pocket is considerably different in the rear in both shape and depth than a AR-15. I am looking for a jig that will do the straight back pockets of the M16 that includes the different depths in the rear, as well as be able to do the AR-15's curved-in rear pocket with a high and low shelf as to not accept the auto sear but allow trigger groups such as the Fostech Echo or a Drop In Auto Sear. |

I know it is not difficult, I’m just looking for a jig that has the right templates w/ the correct depth gauges already on it. I don’t have any M16 trigger groups or auto sears so I should be fine. I just like the idea of already having the ability to build lowers to M16 spec so if I ever get my FFL’s with SOT’s I don’t have to buy a whole new jig. ~Josh |

It's pretty easy with a mill. No jig is needed.

I have done a few as a manufacture and you really don't need a jig to do one correctly, once you do one, they are really easy to do. A drawing with the correct specifications and a manual mill with DRO's it is a piece of cake to do one. Quote HistoryQuoted:

As J3_ said, it is a digital read out, so you know where your x, y, and z is sitting from your zero point. Quote HistoryQuoted:
