[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2970130, member: 15054"] I just did my 80% lower last night, I really did not want an AR but I caved. As long as it was cheap, as I am cheap. I got the aluminum 80% for $29.99 and the rest of the gun with stainless barrel for $359. Took awhile to finish the lower so all the parts had perfect clearance. say 4 hours. I measured different triggers and hammers at the pin width area and they do not all measure the same..some are .015" wider than others. I also checked the clearances on a few 100% lowers and the parts that came in them.. there is quite a bit of slack between the inside of the well and the steel moving parts. Leads me to think the clearances are not real critical. The pin holes you must drill 3 of them are a little more critical..in they must be in the right spot.. not an issue with the jig. It just takes time to remove all that aluminum. $29.99 I thought I will bite. Mine is 5.56 with 1:7 twist. Thinking about anodizing it myself also.. seems pretty easy.. some battery acid and distilled water and power source leads and dye. Unless there is something cheaper and just as good.. My buddy is going to paint his. Krylon probably. [/QUOTE]
