This is getting really old fast this year.
While we are discussing 80% Frames....
Stealth Arms sells an anodized frame. Would it be better to go with the anodized right out the gate or bead blasted and coat later? Also would the gig mark up the anodized frame? If you go with bead blasted frame would you coat before you began completing or after or at all. Been looking at the project for a while and wondering about coating the frame.

The jig will mess up the coating (if you're clumsey like I am), plus the FCG pocket will be bare metal. Probably better to anodize it later. Although it is an extra step.
For OP, the polymer80 glock 80% frames are even easier to complete than AR15 lowers. The videos show use of an endmill, but a simple hand file will give much better control when finishing. The complete upper slide and parts kits are readily available. Looks to be about $600 for complete glone 19.
No HQL, no 7 day wait (except for delivery of parts kits), no registration - that varies by state. I know Hawaii allows 80% builds, but it must be registered when complete.
I'll add in the obligatory disclaimer: you may make your own firearms only if you are not prohibited from possession. You must not make with the intent to sell.
