does it matter if the lower is billet or cast? I have a billet 80% currently and was thinking about picking up one or two cast ones as well.

I know I'm fairly new to this hometown forum, hell I only actually know one guy on here; that being said I would like to participate if "The Man in charge" doesn't mind bearded assholes who drink Jack Daniels in his shop? Naturally not whilst drinking said Nectar of the Gods. Nothing I can do about he beard though.

You will be far from the only bearded asshole there. Some just don't have good taste and drink beer. Us whiskey drinking bearded assholes are considered a higher tier. Welcome and jump right in and pull up a virtual chair. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Nice pic, looks like a rabid beaver got hold of it.
I'm sure that buffed right out... Anyhow, hi all... Long time lurker, relative infrequent poster. Pardon my questions if any of these seem a bit naive, I'm not really familiar with the whole 80% process, but I'm interested in learning more and possibly participating. Before things too long winded, if one of the experts thinks it's easier to just explain via phone, let me know, I'm more than happy to just give a call and talk through it to save everyone's time. Which do you typically work with billet, poly, both? Any other starting "blank" (yes, I know, it's not truly a BLANK blank...) or preference? Someone else mentioned having "blemished" ones. How badly are they and/or what impact, if any, does it have on the rest of the milling? Or are they just cosmetic things easily ignored or hidden? After they've been milled out, what do you do for finishing - cerakote, anodize, other, nothing? Have you only done ones for AR15, or do you do AR10 style too? Thanks in advance and hope to join in the fun. Can always stand to add another toy to the box. |

i'm certain i can't get all the stuff down and out of the shop in order to get this pulled off by the 16th. the question is this... do we want to cancel it or reschedule it? i'm quite willing to host as always, but i can't shortcut the customers i have waiting in order to do this. i'm sure you guys understand. your thoughts? |

I thought people were no longer throwing these build parties due to this ruling - https://www.atf.gov/sites/default/files/assets/Firearms/FirearmsIndustry/atf-ruling-2015-1-manufacturing-and-gunsmithing.pdf

Thanks. -VB View Quote sure is. i'm guilty of not getting my shop moved around the new mill put in place yet, which is a hold up, but i'd like to get that done and keep rolling. after such a draining legislative session, i'm really really really ready to do something more fun like this. if you guys still want to do this, i sure do. -michael |

If it will happen I will be there. I'm new to the 80% deal. Should I go forged or billet, and is there any particular manufacturer that you guys would recommend?
thanks -VB |
