But then I'll need a legend on the firearm somewhere stating what the red and white dots mean.

Plus, some of us are color blind and would also like something less 'ghetto' than red/white dots for indicators.
I'm in Brookline, I bought an 80% lower and could use some hand holding. I can drive anywhere in Eastern or Central MA some weekend

Im in for any build party in eastern or central MA. Contributed to AR15 jig. But I'll need some guidance. First-time building anything like this.
A DRO is not needed at all. Just a convenience. That's what all those little lines are for on the handwheel dials ;-)
Nice mill! wish I had one like that.
There was an article somewhere where a guy with a CNC machine was doing just that. He set up the machine and had it already to go. The 'owner' of the receiver that was being made, pushed the start button on the machine. Because he started the manufacturing process, legally he was the one who was manufacturing the receiver. The article discussed the situation and found that this was legal.

In for a build party. I paid for 2 AR15 receivers and $25 towards a community jig. I live in Eastern MA and willing to travel. I can buy food and beer and contribute towards driill bits, etc.
in for the build party. Have a ar15 lower and kit ordered. In the boston metro area, but can travel anywhere.
Also, if anyone has a 3d model for the jigs, I can print some up at work, and bring to the party

Metrowest or Worcester.
Can go to Boston or whatever other reasonable (1 hour?) distance from Metrowest.
I'll need some handholding. I contributed a bit toward a community jig, but I'll chip in more for supplies, materials, wings, etc. for a build party.

I'd be interested as well. I bought both the AR15 and 10 jigs and would be happy to bring them along. Also have bits and a couple table-top drill presses and a grizzly mini-mill if those would be helpful to have. Have some basic milling bits and related along with drill bits.

You able to get to Nashua, NH?? I believe we need at least the AR10 jig, if not the AR15 jig too. Or a second AR15 jig so we can have both my drill press and the mini-mill (another person is bringing) going at the same time.
BTW, I have my own build party thread already. IF you want to come up to Nashua, you need to post there. Depending on when these come in, I'll be able to do either one, or more, build parties. I'm also open to having people come/go during the build party day(s) so that we can process more of these.

GREAT.. got to get caught up on this thread.
We got enough donations to fund several AR-15 jigs. I did not order any AR-10 jigs as we only had 7 AR-10 lower ordered and 4 of those people bought jigs. Hopefully we can borrow/rent an AR-10 jig from one of them. Depending on the location of the build, I will either bring them or hand off the jigs to someone attending the build.

Noob with 2 AR15 en route from Winter... and a $10 donation for some Jiggy use.
I'm downtown Boston... work in Westwood normal hours, and am willing to drive out towards 93/95 interchange or Malden area. I doubt my tools will be of assistance, but if we've a host in the area, I'll connect to see what might help... in addition to some post-mill-suds.
Who's got that area covered and willing to host another?

I hope this is a good place to ask this. Does anyone know if one were to choose to anodize the rest of the finished lower, would that require changing the dimensions that the holes are drilled at? Does anodizing remove material causing dimensions to change? Also is there any process I could do at home to harden the holes without anodizing?
Im in the boston area too... looking for a closer build. The one in NH is a bit of a drive.
