80% lower builds, favorite method?

[Jack5j]

I just saw a couple reviews of Modulus Arms jig, most favorable, but never sure of the sources. Anyone with experience and recs on best way to finish an 80% lower? Thanks in advance for any direction.

A mill is your best bet... it is easy that way. A drill press, not so easy, but doable in a pinch..

A jig is a huge plus, takes the guesswork out of completing a paperweight..

So, is a mill AND a jig the way to go? (I'm new to this but it looks dang interesting!) (Just like reloading!) I think my projects are starting to outlast my winter...

Jig + Manual Mill is definitely one way to go. Another would be CNC Mill and the appropriate code to make it work.

I did these with a Modulus jig and laminate router. I would recommend it.

I missed this reply. I had seen the post, though. Nice work! I may have to give it a go. Thank you!
