the rear lug cut out? I have made all the first "A" passes, so now the rear shelf is cut. I can't see how I can mill the FCP without cutting into the shelf. Unless by putting the pin back in, it will stop the mill bit from going too far? Does anyone have any experience with this?

There is a hole in the upper part of the jig where that pin goes to guard the rear pocket, high enough not to get cut with the bit.

I believe on their youtube tutorial they show it as well.

Thanks, I was looking for some videos, apparently not hard enough.

ETA, yep, I missed it in the manual, thanks again.

Yep, also been careful with the pin holes and safety drilling.

I was off my very small amount (crooked) and the hammer would not fall until I addressed it. Drill press is best.

Yeah, I've done a bunch of AR 15 lowers with the gen 1 jig. Do have to be careful. Thanks.
