80 % lower AR

[Limited-Time]

Any one here gone the 80% lower route for an AR or other firearm?

I have read about them, it sounds like a lot of work to get your firearm, and to get it right.

Oh yea, a man after my own heart. I have a lower 80% AR frame, but haven't yet milled it open. But I do have plans to do so after I finish my boat project. I have the needed tools and end mills, so it won't be too much effort to finish a few for me. I also plan on buying a few 80% AR10's too... Don't think I would buy any composites though. But that is just me... I already have a few AR15's in difference calibers, but you can never have too many guns...I always said that!

Re: 80 % lower AR

I have not looked into the cost difference, if it is significant, then it might be a way to go, if you have the ability to do the milling work required, I own several AR and AK rifles, as well as a couple of M-16 and full auto AK's, it might be fun to build your own, but I am to old for that, I just find friends that need money and pick up the good buys. But as stated, if you have the tools and ability, it could be fun.

Re: 80 % lower AR

The tool and ability are not an issue for me. As for cost, from what I have researched it all depends what you want for a finished product. Really low end is some where around five or six hundred dollars. A high end build can go well north of 4K. Either way you end up with a non serialized AR with no paper trial.
