| So I'm thinking of getting a 80% lower, but I don't have a machine shop, I would need to have it complete, can anyone suggest one? |

Are you asking for a machine shop that will complete your 80% lower for you? I don't think that's legit. It can be done with a drill press, and patience. Others have done it with less. |

The point of an 80% is to do it on your own, without an ffl.
Why don't you just buy a lower? Eta It doesn't have to be a machine shop with an ffl. You have to press the start button on the machine. Eta2 They sell jigs that make it seem pretty easy to do with a drill press. |

If you are interested .....
Here is a post with my setup to complete an 80% lower On a Benchtop CNC Mill... Also I am using a Tactical Machining Jig. Taig CNC Mill |
It would have to be a SOT that is licensed for manufacturing, and they would have to assign a serial number to it...

I'd assume you could mill if however you wanted to, but making it easier for a DIAS might land you with some questioning latter on. You can have a lower milled out to whatever specs you want. Don't drill it for a sear pin and don't put full auto parts in it. I have several lowers that will accept a DIAS and they left the factory that way. |

Here's an interesting question concerning 80% lowers. Can the rear section be milled throughout or does it have to resemble the regular production lowers that have that section tapered in ? You can machine the fire control pocket any way you want so long as you don't drill the magic hole above the selector. |
