80% jig

MEGALUG · Apr 4, 2013

Searched and didn't come up with anything....does anyone have a jig I can borrow? Plan on setting it up on the machine and copying it. No drilling....I will compensate in trade if it's acceptable. 5 .50 cal ammo cans and 5 .30 cal cans..

We should set up a database thing like the bore lock thread

MEGALUG · Apr 4, 2013

Never saw the database for the bore lock thread

Infantry23 · Apr 4, 2013

It's a good idea... basically a spreadsheet by caliber with screename and location. Members offer their locks to be borrowed so you dont have to spend another $30 for the MD approved bore lock.

Really, 80% jigs could be done the same way. Sharing them would help a lot of people.

MEGALUG · Apr 4, 2013

I agree

chappy444 · Apr 5, 2013

Thanks chap. I was hoping someone here would be interested in loaning me theirs. Hate to buy one and use it once.

AR or AK?

I don't have either but I'm going to be in need of an AK jig in the near future. A list of who has them and can loan them would be great.

Let me ask a question.
If you finish an 80% percent AR lower yourself is there any requirement to register it whether rifle or pistol build?

MEGALUG · Apr 5, 2013

AR. All you need is a shovel for the AK. lol

I don't know about pistol build, but I am 99.9% sure NO for the rifle build.

Would this be considered manufacturing under MD state law, or is creating a lower for personal use not manufacturing?

MEGALUG · Apr 9, 2013

As I read it. I can build for myself. Just can't sell or transfer.

Infantry23 · Apr 9, 2013

Yes, the way I understand it is... you can build one for yourself, but not for others. Now, I don't know know about more than one build for yourself or "gifting" something to a family member. IANAL!!

MEGALUG · Apr 9, 2013

I don't remember seeing anything about "how many" you can build for yourself. I hope it's more than one. I have a few uppers waiting for homes.

Can't get the link to open at the moment, but here is BATFE's FAQ:
http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/faq/

You can make as many as you like, just don't sell them for profit. If you don't transfer it, it won't need a serial number. If you sell it (not for profit) or gift it, it needs to be marked with a serial number and your (the manufacturer) address (name, city, state).

I did a few from forgings: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=4197&highlight=machining

They are soft aluminum. Loaned mine once, got it back with the fcg pocket jig milled out because they didn't set the mill deep enough.

Thats not good. Did they at least offer to buy you a new one? I'm not actually going to use borrowed jig. I'm going to copy the dimensions off it. Them mill when I have time.
