There are discussions like this all over the place in the Do It Yourself section of the AR-15 forum.  There are a lot of helpful tacks (permanent threads) at the top that would answer most of your questions.

The best? www.ktordnance.com/kto/products.php  Because it is not cast although cast will work and many people have finished cast receivers with no problems. But it is also the most expensive and who knows when they will start making them again.

Ha ha KT was raided a while back and is not taking orders for those any more.  I wish i had bought one a month or too ago like i was planning, but there are many other places where one can get an 80% reciever.  

Thanks for the info

Try AR15 plus.com They have nice forged lowers and also the baxter Jig. Very fast shipping. Very well done.

Why would you want a 80% lower anyway? Unless you are a convicted felon and you can buy a gun. Why not just go by a stripped lower, they are pretty cheap. The whole %'age lower thing is shady.  FMJs-of-Freedom

ATFE has been putting alot of pressure on people making and selling 80% AR lowers.

You mayl find it a little hard to locate one.

Check out the Buld yourself forams. You will get a lot more help. A lot of people like doing there own AK's they even have buld parteys for them. 80% lowers are a lot easer to do. KT ordance is the best sold billet. There are people who also will do there own uppers. Kind of like rebulding your own engene in you car or truck. Check out the ATF web sight for the proper paper work. Before you start. The KT15 bye the secrect gunsmith is a great tutorial. Have fun!

So only a felon would build his own huh? I guess you have never head of anyone doing it because they enjoy a challenge or might actually enjoy working with their hands.
Some people actually take pride in the fact they can do something other than toss money at someone to receive a ready to use product. While there have been some felons that have made their own firearms not every one who builds one is a criminal.
Yes, it makes sense from an economical standpoint to buy a ready made receiver as they are cheaper but then all you have is something that you bought, not machined or built by the owner.

Reminds me of when the Cell Phone First Came out. Politicians were saying "They are the tools of drug dealers and street thugs!" They use that same excuse to try to ban ALOT of things.

Ha ha i can agree with that, just wait they will probabally put more restrictions on cell phones besides not talking while driving, in a few years.  You will have to get one from a FCD Federal Cellular Dealer!!!
