I've made the decision to buy an 80% lower and gradually build an AR-15. Once I decided to do this, I began to figure out how expensive it really is going to be. Ouch! But since I never have fired an AR-15, field stripped it or anything else I feel as this is the best way to get to know the firearm completely. I've ordered the lower, the jigs, drills, milling vise, and mill ends. I still need to buy a small drill press. I'll try to keep posting as I progress. http://pnwguns.com/images/smilies/hello.gif Wish me luck!
