Ahhh, the smell of victory is in the air! Thanks for sharing, Mark - that just made my day!
Aloha, Mark
My friend..... he uses an Easy Jig 2 multi platform.What currently available jigs are you guys using to complete mil spec 80% receivers?
Those are sweet! I've been wanting to do these for many years. These are the two I want to tackle when things get back to normal. I've always said I won't own a 1911 unless I make one myself (even though I know that's a lie) but the Sig!!! for sure. If your going to do one though why not do both?For me it's more about being able to do it myself. And not just glocks.

Sig's and 1911's not to mention AR's and AK's.
Idk about currently available but my buddy used the 5D multi plat. One, the modulus looks like a copy, the 5D is ok but the bushing are pretty chinsy, they are steel drill bushings but they don't seem very tight and accurate to me. The quality of the bushings means a lot to me.What currently available jigs are you guys using to complete mil spec 80% receivers?
I figured someone else would post this, this is MASSIVE pretty much all these laws getting peeled back just like I thought. Its magical! Can't wait to buy MAGAzines again.
Aloha, Mark
one step closer to being Nazi GermanyJust wait until ATF makes a law requiring all parts must be serial numbered; upper, lower, stock, BCG, bbl, magazine…..
And all serial numbered parts purchased run through a FFL
This was basically what they proposed and was already shot down as too over reaching. They proposed every part involved on the cycling of the action.Just wait until ATF makes a law requiring all parts must be serial numbered; upper, lower, stock, BCG, bbl, magazine…..

No its that the Feds admitted in court in front of a judge that they are outright just trying to harass us and the manufacturers of NON fire arms and they put egg on their own faces. People immediately resumed selling them once the feds admitted it wasn't illegal they just didn't like the fact the jigs were sold along with the non firearms and readily finished and refused to tell the mfgr's that and instead waste a courts time.funny I bought a 80 and had to buy the jig lower . no FFL needed. I think the feds wrote another $hitty law, and people already figured out the side step to keep selling them...
got all my parts and finished it last week
The frame companies haven't seemed to have had any issues responding quickly by seperating the frame and previously included jig as seperate items via seperate outlets. Receivers... you can still buy them, of course, but the jig companies seem to be slow making them available again. Most everywhere you look says "out of stock" on everything. Maybe they really are just out of stock, but thata would be very suprising.funny I bought a 80 and had to buy the jig lower . no FFL needed.

Made a lot of well-working lowers on my 5D jig. I wasn't crazy about the 'shrink hold' way the end mill is retained in the router but it has been working just fine & I even changed out the end mill onceIdk about currently available but my buddy used the 5D multi plat.

Indeed! Even those little crappy plastic clam shells could be worth a decent investment.If they don't, I guess when... my friend... is completely done with his it'll be worth a small fortune if the market has crashed.
Seeing what they sell for, you can bet my friend is kicking himself thinkin 'bout how many of those over the years ended up in the trash after a single use.Indeed! Even those little crappy plastic clam shells could be worth a decent investment.
Thermo fit end mills are pretty much the industry standard even on million dollar machines. It's far better than set screws etc.Made a lot of well-working lowers on my 5D jig.
