Interesting, just that one spot that got milled out  by the rear takedown is considered 15%.

Would be even easier if they milled everything except the rear pin sections and called it an 85% lower. lol ???

They've been around a few years...saying "95%" is nothing more than a marketing gimmick, it's still an 80% lower and the amount of work required to finish is about the same. I think having the takedown pin area completed can actually make things more difficult if using the jig + drill press method.

Would be even easier if they milled everything except the rear pin sections and called it an 85% lower. lol ???
Easier? Sure, but once the FCG pocket is milled out its considered a firearm by the ATF so you might as well buy a completed lower.

I wish I had a mill.  My girlfriend and I were talking about what we'd do if we won the lottery; she knew I'd buy a bunch of guns, but I'd also buy a CNC milling machine and whole bunch of steel and aluminum stock!   >:D
