80% Lower Question - Allen - 02-08-2013
I found this place selling 80% lowers.
http://shop.lower80.com/80-AR-15-Lower-Receiver-00001.htm
I think they are a tad overpriced, but I was concerned more about the finish itself. The rear section where the buffer tube attaches seemed quite "unfinished" as well as around the magazine well. Is this how most 80% lowers are? I would expect the inside to be unfinished (the trigger area) but I was figuring the outside would be "rounded" like all other lowers.
Thanks!

i think this one is better, billet upper the other one is forged and you still need to anodized it after you machined the pocket trigger group. maybe this link will help http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_4/484783_Vader_Spade_s_80__AR_15_build___Milling__Etching__and_Anodizing.html

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered 5 of the billet lowers (for my Dad, brother, and myself, I'm not a horder) as well as the jig. I couldn't stand to let it go OOS tomorrow and kick myself for a month. Hahaha.
