9mm 80% lower

Neutron · Sep 19, 2018

I see 80% Arms now has a 9mm lower that takes Glock mags. $119.00. Unfortunately you have to buy their gen 2 jig to mill them out. The gen 1 jig won't work. So to get the 9mm lower you're looking at around $400.00. That's too bad. I'd really like to have one of those lowers.

Wait a few months and check EBAY and the 80% groups on facebook. People buy them, use them once and sell them. If you end up getting one get one of these and install it, it will save you some grief. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog...ing-problems-fix-taccom-glock-lower-feedramp/

You could always try the C-9 80% from New Frontier Armory. It’s $130 and the jig for it is $65. The only downside is they are not anodized so you would need to have someone finish it for you or finish it yourself with something like the no bake Cerakote or DuraCoat..

or home anodizing. it's not that hard to do and there is plenty of info and how to instructions online. Practice on an aluminum cooking pot first. you can buy cheap ones at the dollar store.

5D's worked on every 9mm 80 I did without modification. Better jig IMHO.

My buddies and I have done 3 lowers with the 5D Tactical Jig. Works very well.
