If they have a jig for it half the hard work is done.

so what did you decide?

Nothing yet.

In the process of moving from an apartment to a house, once I'm settled in I'll give it some more thought.

So far I looked around, it seems is a little painful with a press drill vs. a mill, but obviously even a cheap mill is pretty expensive. But it still looks doable.

As for anodizing, that apparently only requires a bucket, some acid and a battery charger. Doesn't look hard or expensive to do at all.

In the works now.

SN - That's superb, sir!

Thank you !

Yeah? Well, I start making mine by collecting old soda cans first then melting them down.

Seriously, good job. Looks like a fun project too.

Just for giggles. Gotta love Texas: http://www.cnbc.com/id/100661606

sportsnut.. dang, thats pretty hardcore

So, I've bagged this idea for the time being, because using a drill press to finish them apparently isn't the way to go and I cannot afford even a cheap mill right now.

Whats worse, is that the federal government is apparently going to try and move towards putting a definition of "assault weapon" on the books, and all but ban the sale of "parts kits" and "unfinished lowers", and outright ban imported unfinished lowers. All of this is of course easy to change into an allout AWB later on by changing or removing a few words as a rider on another bill.

Read HB2910 and tell your House Rep to just say no:

You could pick up the kit now and hold onto it for later.
