Has anyone taken an 80% complete forged AR 15 billet and finished it? What were the hardest parts to complete? Who did you buy the guide blocks from? Were you happy with the results?
 
I have done several 0% forgings. The 80% should be very easy as the mag well was the most work on mine. Can't help you with the guide blocks.
 
I have contemplated doing this my self, but couldn't justify the cost, at least to me. (I'm a cheap bastard and it was cheaper to buy a 100% lower but I understand why some guys do) When I was looking into it, Tactical Machining was who I was looking at and had one of the better set ups. It might not be too bad if you got some people to go in on some with you that way you reduce the cost of the jig.
