    Sorry, but I'm not building anything that requires a controlled explosion or controlled burn in really really tight places. And I'm especially not placing my face next to self built controlled explosion devices. I'm not pretty but I need to hang on to what I have. Nicknames like No Nose, One Eye or No Brows don't need to be self imposed.

    Rick, that is a lower receiver. All the explosion stuff happens in the upper receiver. The lower just houses the fire controls and gives a place to put a stock. Worse case scenario, gun won't fire and you're out a little $$$$$.

    Why not give it a try.

    If you mess it up and it fails to function every other shot who's going to know the difference, its and AR !

    Those 80% lowers are everywhere and SG is a bit expensive on theirs. But it does include the jig and drill bits.

    You can get a poly frame for as low as $50.

    Most have the drill points marked and pre-punched and all you do is use the right size drill at the right mark.

    I am sure there are You tube vids that take you through the steps.

    That is one project I have never tried just because I am not that much into the AR. By the time you buy all the parts you could have bought a NIB AK.

    I always wanted to try it from a raw forging. Broaching the mag well would be a pain, but the rest sounds fun.
