If I remember correctly, you can't have someone else machine it for you, it has to be done by the end owner. I looked into it myself and as Nosmoking said, it supposedly can be done with a drill press and the correct jigs.where to bring a 80% lower to have machined?

The AK is even more diverse you need to be able to work sheet metal, weld and drill with accuracy they are more forgiving in tolerances and you can work on them with just a hammer but not for everyday home shop screwdriver spinner.
If you have someone near you that has built before seek them out and learn from their mistakes, I would not recommend either without supervision.
They only take about three hours each if you have a mill and the correct tooling. My buddy and I just did a few. I am looking to get a few more to build some for the kids.
