So I’m just now starting my first 80. I have access to mill and just bought my first two lowers. I need a jig, I thought that it would be something I could go with out, but I think I might of bitten off more than I could chew. I started looking into the price and holy freaking cow those are insane for a jig. After I spent the past 4 days finding one that was affordable, I realized that they don’t have them in stock anymore. The only ones I could find are either replacement parts or the 300+ kits.
I’m pretty desperate here any help would be appreciated
Another thing I’ve been considering is just making my own jig. But I don’t have a reference for it so maybe if someone’s willing to spend some time on zoom or FaceTime, I could just pull dimensions and Measurements off of a used one and fabricate one. I run a cnc laser so I could cut out the plates/holes and take it to the mill for the side plate holders.
where are you located
Np 😉
Are you familiar with 80% arms? They have a Easy Jig Gen 3 Multi-Platform - AR-15, AR-9 and .308 80% Lower Jig for $350 and they do sales pretty often.
Hellfire armory has the exact dimensions for the inside pocket, placement/ size of the holes on their website. I think the image comes up in Google images if you search it too.
