Quoted: I’m still a little confused about how asking the question I did makes me seem like a shady person. What is the difference between milling out an 80% casting and milling out a demo model? You still end up with the same result. My friend was simply suggesting I would save myself some milling work if I went with the demo rather than the casting. Now I know it would be a waste of time, if even possible.
Maybe my profession makes you nervous, in which case, I’m not on here fishing for a case. I came to this board because I truly want to get into homebuilding and I want to make a memorial rifle. If that bothers you, than that’s your problem because I’m here to stay.
P.S. Happy New Year.

I would assume it was a combination of things. This site has been trolled on variouse times. Your first posting and the nature of the topic was the trigger.... The 'veteran' posters/members viewed it as possibly a felon or other individual attempting to dig up info for illicit purposes (ie an anti gunner wishing to dig up dirt....). But I think most know, that if somenone wanted illicit info, there are plenty of books and other ways to get said info....
edit-
If you are wanting to build, I recall there are a few other sites that are dedicated to 80% or 0%. I'd have to look at my bookmark list to see which it was..... I don't frequent those sites that much.
Depending on how much $$$ you want to spend, you could buy a jig to hold the 80% AR lower in and it positions all the holes. Just have to drill..... Look on Tanny's site.

Da site:
HEREAbout your question, depending on the percent completed the demo model is at and which sections need finishing, it could be trouble. The one demo model I saw, the trigger area was done, but as it said, it had a block that was bascially, hard to remove and if removal was tried, it would destroy lower making it unusuable (which is the purpose). I don't know who else sells demos. I suppose if you found a demo that had the mag well finished and the trigger area milled, but no buffer threads.....
The cost of doing an 80% vs buying a completed is expensive.... It's "interesting" to me, but at the current moment, not something I would want to do. Just to do or the learning experiance, I understand....as I do things like that too....
