maybe get an AR
considering all you have is a 10/22
Of course. That's probably the first gun I'll buy when I move out.
Make sure it’s a good AR
I plan on building it, but I'll take my time and do my research to make sure it's good. I already know the barrel is the most important part for accuracy, so I'll get a good one. I might even do an 80% lower if I have access to the tools at the time and my first attempt goes well.
I would encourage you to do an 80% but it's much harder than a P80
which is to say an 80% can be done by brain damaged meth heads
and a 80% AR requires an IQ of 100
P80?
Polymer 80 Glock...
keep up with me boy
Ah. I thought it might mean polymer, but there are polymer lowers for ARs too.
I'm sure I can do it, but I'll have to borrow my uncle's drill press and router, and I know how easy it is to misalign one drill bit and fuck the whole thing up.
Have you done one before?
I did a P80 Glock in July
ultimately came to a point where I realized that I could not fit the locking block pins in both at a time because of fitment issues (asked my local smith and he confirmed)
so its probably fucked and will require a new frame, I'll ask P80 if they will send a new one
Ah. I'm actually looking at picking up an 80% from anderson, but they have a note saying "Please note that the rear lug pocket for the upper must be finished in the machining process in order to seat an upper" on the product page. Other manufacturers mention whether or not they've finished it already too. Any idea what it means?
not a clue, avoid anderson
How bad could their 80%s be? Don't they do OEM for tons of other manufacturers?
Afaik andersons trash rep comes from poor CC
Its a gamble if you buy
I'm not seeing any 80%s on Aero's site.
I assembled an Anderson lower where the safety detent was drilled a few degrees from perpendicular
how tf do you even do that...
higher end companies will sometimes do individual inspections rather than batch testing
so yes, some lowers come from the same place
The anodizing on all of them is thin and shitty looking compared to lowers just a few doses more
they're just not all the same

Its like buyin surp bodyarmor
Might get a good one might get a bad one but you wont know till it fails
I was going to get an uncoated 80% anyways. Might get it coated later. Or try coating or anodizing myself.
I’ve only built two for poorfag friends but the one is the only one that had a truly significant issue
Diy anodizing seems hard
But 50/50 isn’t a good record
Gotcha. So who makes good milspec 80%s?
It can be but I think it would be worth it.
Aero makes a solid $50 lower
