    Thought I would start this discussion.

    Any thoughts about this. I am thinking about trying it. Not for any reasons having to do with evading any or all federal firearm regulations....no, nothing to do with that. :twitch:
    Just interested in metal work. Yeah metal work.:suspicious:

    Your thoughts?

    I should have a way to finish these in a quick and clean manner in February. Once I'm set up I'll be renting out my setup once I know it works.

    The only benefit to these, that I see, is the lack of paper trail. Your Andersons are cheaper and ready to roll. The unfinished lowers are more money and effort to finish but no one has to know about them.

    I've thought about these for a while now...I really like the idea of making/milling it myself...but then I look at the cost of a good jig and the cost of the lowers themselves...just doesn't seem worth it to me

    Unless you're A) a really bored machinist or B) desperate to avoid registration its a complete waste of time and resources. You can build a really nice rifle for the cost of the jig and tooling.

    Afirm. I got in on a ghost gunner on the pre order. Plan is to recoup some of the cost with finishing out some lowers. My hope is that the box is easy to work with so I can do some side projects as well. I'd like to do a new stock adapter for my XCR. Will have to wait and see.
