Need some opinions/ advice from some of you "gun hands"

Important to note, in addition to being "your gun", you are prohibited from making or doing any of the work for someone else to make "theirs gun" which includes family members.

You make yours, they make theirs. etc.

Years ago, when the 80% thing really took off, there were twe machine shops in CO that had CNC machines programmed such that all you had to do was place the lower in the machine properly, and push GO. They were bordering the rules by claming that since you pushed the button, you were making it. problem is, a CNC machine (the tool in use) has to be programmed and if you didn't do it, then you're not running the tool. The feds to offense to that and told them no, you have to use your own resources etc or some such thing.

In order to transfer an 80%, you need to be careful. if you make one, then decide you don't' want it a week later and go to sell it, that could be interpreted as manufacturing with intent to sell, then you get sticky quick.

If you're making them for YOU, t's a no brainer and the tools you have are WAY more than adequate.

Personally, I don't have a problem with iron sites, they are reliable and dead simple to use. However, if you 're going to get fancy with the flip up units, then do yourself a favor and get an upper without the iron sites to begin with.

Enjoy and welcome to the club.
