So, I'm toying with the idea of building an 80% lower for my .300BLK pistol build, but I've never done it before. While it's not a 'budget build', it is a build on a budget. The core parts I'm still lacking are lower, barrel and gas tube/gas block, and handguard.
Since I know we have plenty of 80% lower experience here, what's the best bang for the buck when it comes to jigs? And 80% lowers, for that matter? Looks like no matter which way I go, it's not going to make $$ sense to go the 80% route unless I do at least a few of them or convince a few friends to build 80%'s and go in on the jig. Even at that, blem lowers can be had for about the same price, but, whatever. I want to do it this way.
