80% lower
I have bought finished and even a couple blem lowers from NFA but I wanted a blank lower to try engraving myself. This seemed like the easiest way to get just one plain lower. I have bought raw lowers from them also and they arrive grit blasted, pretty much ready for Cerakote. The 80% lowers are smooth and need to be grit blasted after you mill them out before you apply a finish. I like the style of their Gen 2 lowers, they are unique with the finger rest cut and the lightening cuts in the sides. Milling the pocket for the trigger wasn’t too difficult, I used their 80% jig to hold it in an old manual mill I have. I went really slow so I wouldn’t make a mistake and I spent nearly five hours start to finish. I used a drop in trigger to check the fit and function, everything worked like it should. Went ahead and assembled it before painting so I could try it at the range. Mags are a little tight, might need to lightly sand polymer mags if you need them to drop free. I might do another one, they are fun to do. Need to pull it back apart and work on the engraving now.
