There isn't any "set" list of advice, especially on the information you have provided. This is also assuming you mean 80% lower, and not upper. Because, I haven't found anyone who sells uppers in an 80% condition, or if there would even be a market for that kind of thing, considering the expensive tooling that is need to make upper receivers.
The best advice that I can give you is to search this forum, and search google regarding 80% lower finishing. That is what I did, and there are tons of tutorial videos on Youtube, also. I completed my lower using a cheap harbor freight drill. Mine was a billet lower from AresArmor.com. I used a cheap harbor freight drill press and a jig from Aresarmor to complete mine. But, I only did it after hours, and hours of research, so I was sure that I had what I needed, and I watched multiple youtube videos before and during my completion, to make sure I didn't miss any steps. Google will be your best friend if you want to go the 80% route. |

I have seen 80% uppers advertised.
Not too sure why, though. But, they exist. For the OP, uppers are just parts, they are not firearms. You can order a 100% upper, or even a barreled upper, and have it sent direct to your home. They are not regulated in any way, on the federal level, anyway. I am unaware of any state laws concerning them, though it is possible there are some. |

Quoted: I've been using 80% Arms lowers and enjoy them. They have a jig that works with a common hand router. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/AR-15_Paul/Rifles/80%20Percent%20Arms%20Lowers/DesertCarbinePainted5_zpsf62fbe2b.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/AR-15_Paul/Rifles/80%20Percent%20Arms%20308/80PercentLower14_zpsec062ca9.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m168/AR-15_Paul/Rifles/80%20Percent%20Arms%20308/80PercentLower12_zpsb0520c70.jpg http://www.80percentarms.com/products/80-lower-receiver-bead-blasted-billet-ar-15-lower This the site? |
