80% receivers

[Red98422]

Just curious as what everyone's go to sites for both cheap, middle of the road and quality.

I'm looking mainly for ar-15's in unfinished varieties. I've also got room for a few middle quality ar-10 80's as well .

Also I assumed this was the right sub-fourm. Please inform me if there is somewhere more appropriate to post this

then buy a 5D tactical PRO jig and a dewalt or rigid mini router

amazon carries the 5/16 carbide 2" end mills for WHEN you break one. if you get the pro jig the end mill holder makes it easy to replace end mills.

I can't find better prices anywhere. I've been lucky enough to find 80% AR15 lowers for $34.95 on sale. They were "blems" but I can't find anything wrong with them.

I actually ended up with an "easy jig gen 2" from 80% arms. Should be here tomorrow!

I didn't even think about amazon for when I break my end mills thanks!

Holy crap! I just checked out thunderguns and damn, looks like that's going to be my 308 place thanks for the link!

I checked out right to bear and that's an excellent site got two in the cart now!

Almost forgot to add I already have a rigid mini router the thing is pretty nice it's got soft start, fine adjustment for depth and also has tuneable speed. It is 5.5 amps which should be quite sufficient for my needs.

While we are on the subject, which lower parts kits do you guys usually go for? I've recently used a lower Magpul build kit (with brace and buffer) from Palmetto and am reasonably happy with it.

usually buy aero LPK or CMMG. andersons are OK but ive got extra parts yet missing parts.

im not sure if you can get easy jig endmills on amazon since they are stepped shanka from 1/4 to 5/16. i use the 5D PRO jig that allows for use of a standard 2", 5/16" endmill. regardless, buy a spare end mill from where they sell the easy jig. ive broken 3 end mills over time. its just good to have an extra on hand.

also, wd40 works good as lube for aluminum. i usually spray just a little bit every couple of passes or else all of the chips wad up.

clean your endmill from wadded up aluminum too or else you will get some lines on the inside of the cut (cosmetic, doesnt affect function)

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

another tip...drill your trigger and selector holes first so that you wont have to chamfer them from the inside as the endmill will clean up the holes when you get down that deep.

also, if youre a reloader, you can use your chamfer tool to clean up the outside of your receiver after drilling the holes.

I just got a couple 80% lowers from Right 2Bear. They are blems as well but I cannot find the blems. Shipped really fast. Now need to figure out if I want to do 5D or Easy Jig Gen 2? Was thinking either Rigid or Dewalt for the router. YT videos and forums show they are pretty similar.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

these were milled out with a 5D and a rigid router

 

[Red98422]

Excellent tip on the selector holes. I am actually also getting into reloading but I have a few chamfer tools from my job, I'll probably use those.

Those receivers look excellent! Good work there

thanks, they work well. i couldnt get 1 of my drop in triggers(rise armament ra434) to work right in them though. its as if the front of the pocket needed just a smidge more milled out...it is an aftermarket drop in trigger though...works great in a non 80% lower. a milspec trigger works just fine in the 80s as does my CMC drop in so i know its not the receivers fault it has to be the shape of the RA trigger.

Watch what you post people. Use your head.

According to what I could find and as well at wading through that RCW it is perfectly legal as long as the manufacture is for personal use and not for the intent to sell. (Aka a copy of the exact same law that is already on a federal level)

This is a link where this has already been addressed on this fourm

Washington - Did Washington just ban 80% lowers and pre-1968 guns?

Was on another gun forum and they said that Washington governor Jay Inslee signed into law a measure that prohibited the possession of any firearm without a serial number. My dad owns several custom hunting rifles based on actions that were never serialized. I will take possession of those...

Though I do appreciate your concerns

It has always been that way on a Federal level. Jay just signed this a few months ago.

What he said!!! The 5D jig is about as easy as it gets!!

 

[Red98422]

@11Charlie i already have an easy jig gen 2 in the mail, if it doesn't work out I may try the 5D. The ability to do 15's 10's and 9's on the same jig was hard to resist for me

I can do all those on my 5D as well. It just depends on which one you buy.

There is a shop in Washougal called Limitless America. 5D stocking dealer with a lot of parts/receivers/ammo on hand.
Last time I was there there was a lot of Glock parts and Poly80 stuff
