Finally! I bought a Mini mill and an 80% receiver and some 0% forgings about two years ago with the intent to machine my own lowers. I had pretty much abandoned the project due to the cost of tooling up the mill and the cost of parts. At any rate, this is my first build. M&A 16" CAR Kit with 80% receiver. The rifle shoots like a dream. 4 1/2# trigger pull. One inch group off sandbags at 50 yards with open sights. 200 rounds of various ammo including wolf without a hitch. This is going to be the home of my cmmg 22lr conversion. I made a couple of mistakes, I broke a bit in the rear takedown spring and detent hole twice. The first I got out no problem but the second is permanent. And, I scratched it up putting in the lower parts kit. I learned alot and have my workholding thought out to machine my 0% forgings. What is more, I have a riffle that already has alot of personal history. Currently, I am working on a few 0%-100% lowers.
Thanks for looking. |

Nice build...I have wanted to mill my own recievers, but lack of funds...Makes want to even more now... I too did not have the funds. I purchased the mill for hobby machining. I already had a small lathe and a metal shaper. Again, I really had lost interest in ARs all together due to lack of funds, but got back into it due to the current electoral stimulus plan. |
