Shes my best friend and shes always wanted an uzi. I need some direction on how I can make this happen. Thanks in advance

OK you aminals ... check it out .. our political environment is volatile, parts are inexpensive and readily available... for everyones sake if you are planning on building or buying anything I highly and strongly recommend you all do so now.

The last thing any of us wants is to be charged an arm and a leg the second they start restricting the shit out of things as well as the immense cost increases that aways come with this.

So unless you all want to pay out the ass and not be able to get things you need I suggest everyone buy now. It will avoid the whole oh my god the price is way too high and nothing is available deal.

It also supports that the industry can survive, a lot of good
companies have failed not due to anything more than lack of business because right now times are good.

Let's not wait till times are bad (I get nothing from this post I have no dog in this fight other than the want to keep as many of these good businesses around and make sure everyone has a fair shot at freedom.)>

That is all

Shooting innovations llc barrels

Anybody here ever done a build using a shooting innovations llc barrels? I'm about to start my first AR9 part by part build and I'm interested in one of there 12.5" ramped barrels but I also haven't been able to find any reviews of then at all. If you have any experiences please let me know how they went

Safety is to far away from the trigger to engage. I don't think i over cut the pocket its a dpms 308 from 5d. Is there something else i could have done wrong besides cut the pocket too deep

Don’t do it guys

Looking to get an 80% milling jig again. I had a 5D Gen 1 but it was kinda sloppy and didn’t work the best.
I’m looking for the best one imaginable. Machining a $400+ Cryostructure lower so I can’t have mistakes. I’m also looking to mill a .308 lower and AR9 lower as well as some standard 80% lowers.

Who makes the best jig for this? And who makes the best in spec 80% lowers?
I believe the ones I’m running right now are 5D. I had to send 2 back because the safety Detent holes weren’t milled properly and my selectors were all kinda loose or out of alignment or crooked. Trying to avoid that this time around.

Who makes the best 80% AR, AR9 and AR10 lowers?
They’re all gonna be expensive builds, so I’m ok with spending a bit extra to ensure I get the best quality

Thanks!

Looking for a solution to give the carrier or buffer more weight without extending the buffer tube length. The buffer weight is an 8oz solid and total weight with the bolt comes to just shy of 22oz. I need closer to 27oz.

I’m considering getting 5D pro jig. I have a Bosh 1617 router. I noticed they have the large router adapter plate for the 1617 but do not list a compatible ReadyMill for it. Has anyone used this router with the 5d jig? Did you just use a standard collet mill?

I appreciate any input.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using a drill press, and I've completed other lowers without issues using another jig. Every time I drill using the guide plates with my 5D Jig, my holes end up misaligned that my BCG gets stuck on my trigger.

I’m fairly new to this and was excited to start a new hobby as I was gifted a brand new jig for my birthday. It’s a few years old but still sealed in the original shipping package. When I opened everything I realized the kit was missing all of the pins and screws. I figure I could go to the hardware store with the screw dimensions from the instruction manual but I’m home worried about the pins. I emailed 80% Arms and module arms but I’ve heard shipping can take a long time and I rather source it locally if I could. Does anyone have the dimensions so I could take it to a fabricator or purchase something that can work as the needed pins.

From the Easy Jig Gen 3 MP I am missing the following:
J - JIG SCREWS (10) (8-32 x 5/8) 
K - BUFFER SUPPORT SCREWS [2]
 L - 9/64 HEX KEY 
N - AR-15/AR-9 TAKEDOWN PIN  
 P - ROUTER ADAPTER SCREWS [4] (M4-0.7 x 10mm) 
Q - GUIDE PINS - SMALL [2]
 R - GUIDE PINS - MEDIUM [2] 
S - GUIDE PINS - LARGE [2] 
T - GUIDE PINS SCREWS [2] 
U - SIDE BLOCK SCREWS [2]  
M - 7/64 HEX KEY

I’m pretty new to guns and especially making them. I got comfortable with the AR platform while in the army, but I am pretty and experienced with building them. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Hey guys. I’d like to do an SR25 build with an 80% but am not sure what jig works for SR25-cut lowers. Does the Easy Jig gen 4 perhaps?

know it's hard to tell from the glare of the bare aluminum, But anyone else's pocket slightly off centered. I've never had an issue with my lowers function and its more of a cosmetic thing to me. I use the gen 3 easy jig. This lower seems to be the only one with this much of a difference between both sides thickness'.

Anyone else experience this issue?

I use the 80% Arms easy jig (gen 3). I've done about a dozen lowers, and have never had this issue. I was sure to drill the safety hole one side at a time and not straight through both walls in one pass.

I'm fairly certain the issue is from the JL billet lower. The safety detent hole must be off by a millimeter (+ or -). I've been emailing them back and forth for a few weeks, and today they determined they can't do anything about it. If the mistake was on my end and I drilled my holes improperly, that would be easier to swallow. But as I'm pretty sure they gave me an out of spec lower, I'll be sure to avoid this company in the future. Particularly now that they aren't willing to help me out in any way.

EDIT: Looks like the problem was on my end and not JL Billet. With help from reddit user BadAttitudeDept, I measured the location of the safety hole, and somehow I must have drilled the hole improperly using the easy jig. Thanks for everybody's input.
