Purchased an E P Armory 80% polymer lower in OD green. I dont have a whole lot of faith in polymer AR lowers but considering its jigless and that i own a dremel i figured.. What the hell.. Lets try it. Ive spent $60 on stupider things. And they also have a lifetime warranty for normal malfunctions so thats a plus.
With hopes that im able to complete this build and have a fucntioning ar i would assume it will eventually fail at the rear takedown pin area as polymer lowers seem to be infamous for. If it does... Lets see how many rounds it will take first.
This is my first 80% build though ive assembled a few ars. I wanted to document the build and get feedback from more experienced NES'rs. I also plan on reviewing the lower once the rifle is complete.
I ordered OD green... Imo it looks like they melted a bunch of those army guy toys and molded this out of it. Its no where close to my moe stock in od. Havent decided if im gonna paint it or not and what color if i do paint it.
Started by drilling a few tiny holes then eventually worked my way up to what u see here. So far so good.
Eventually i worked my way up to a 3/8 bit then took it down some more with a dremel. I used a flat bottom cutting bit (#196).
After that used a sanding bit then a file.
Waiting for a cmmg lpk to come in. Until then im done.
Im using my iphone for pics and everything else on this thread so i apolgize for the picture quality.
