Has anyone build an 80% lower? I have looked at a couple step by step plans but on paper it seems like quite the endeavor...just wondering if anyone has 1st hand experience. I have all the required machining parts sans jig...

Can't you just make up your own serial number? That would answer the question and solve the problem, no?
There is also the issue of the required FA-10, and the flags filing one with "NONE" for a serial number would raise.
Does anyone have a drill press and or a jig I could use to finish my lower? I live in Quincy so with 50mi would be nice but ill drive.
Show me where her interpretation of the law is in the actual law. Technically her interpretation has stated that anyone who OWNS a post 94 "massified AW" is not in compliance, yet she has chosen not to prosecute (as if that is actually her job) at this time. What is the deifference between owning a post 94 and building a new 80% in her eyes? There is no difference, both are JUST as against her interpretation equally. Her interpretation states NOTHING differentiating the two. Only owning vs. buying. Her objectives were to 1) Get noticed by the Hilldog, and 2) Chilling effect on gunshops from selling massified AW's. It worked, but also backfired. Her overreach may have kicked off the lawSUITS (multiple) that blow the way things were out of the water. Her ego may have made things worse / better (dependent on side) in the long run.Just as something to consider: A 80% lower is not a reciever, but a finished lower is and therefore an assault weapon according to Healey. Finishing a 80% may not be legal.

Finish as many 80% lowers as u want. It’s not illegal and Maura’s notice don’t mean shit! She will never prosecute anyone because she can’t. Keep it off FA10, that’s the whole point to 80%.Just as something to consider: A 80% lower is not a reciever, but a finished lower is and therefore an assault weapon according to Healey.

Problem with that is she will never convict. It would be the quickest way to get her edict blown up. Right now it is doing what she wants. Keeping sales to F2F only. Besides, the MA AG doesn't do that. Local AG's do. And the Police, HA! What does the LAW say? The LAW didn't change, and her interpretation can't CHANGE IT.Oh, I agree with you, the AG and po-po may not
Which pates are you missing?Anyone in Mass that has a jig and won't be using it? I finally unpacked my mill and set it up in the basement, busted out my parts and 2 of my jig top plates are missing. This really blows as it's an Ares Armor AR15 and i think they got shut down by the ATF.

Pm me if you want to see one to compare against.

You did not want to revive one of the more recent 5000 threads on 80% lowers?
I would think it would be much easier to put layout lines on the lower and run up to the lines. Then make a finishing pass to clean it up.If you have a mill, you don't really need a jig at all. Just count the handwheel turns, and be aware of backlash. I've done AR10 and AR15 lowers and 1911 frames - both "0%" and "80%" - with a table top mill-drill and counting handwheel turns. Just takes a bit of attention so as not to lose count.

You have a mill , make a new plate!It's the 2 with the larger openings, i have the one with the trigger hole opening.
Also, I emailed AWC who are what became of Ares Armor. They list the parts on their website but out of stock. I emailed them but nothing back.
They look like these. 2 on top are the ones i've misplaced.
