From what I hear Nemo is a high end company, but then SoLGW is definitely top tier.

So my brother wants to split the cost of a jig and router and have me do some 80%s

Sounds like a plan

So I might be looking into a build shortly

Go with 5D

5D jig?

Very simple jig to use from all the videos I've been watching

It's pricey tho

How pricey

The pro jig, with endmill for the router I'm buying, $280

Ouch

🧐

Yep ouch. But watch the videos for it before you're put off by it

But it comes with the bit

So...I'm gonna start looking at optics that are low price.....any ideals where I should start? Not necessarily for this paycheck but maybe the next.

Def want a good quality bit

I had to add the readymill bit to the purchase

The readymill is said to last 30-50 lowers before needing the bit piece replaced. Of course that's if you're babying the bit

Yeah I would baby the shit out of it

Then it'll last awhile. The readymill set is only $45

And can get replacement part for the bit

I’ll look into it

But if you go with that pro jig, make sure you specify which router you're using, that way they can size it correctly

This is the one I went with, and later you can buy the 308 conversion kit, to do ar-10

But with any jig, it's gonna be backordered

Typical

I wanna make a sterling SMG

With the conversion to semi of course*

Uhuhhh

Supposedly

@O/K/ie Voluntaryist Sig Romero 5 is the only blodget optic I'd trust my life to.

Romeo 5 is good. Got the green dot model, only problem was one range day in the snow, took awhile for the optic to warm up and turn on. Other than that one time it's been great

I'll check it out.

I lucked out then on my Romero lol

I got it since I was on budget and had really good reviews.

I'm running budget hardcore

Running a budget carbine here

As am I.

I will be. Gotta replace my PSA 10.5” AR15 pistol. That or upgrade, but read upgrading costs about as much as new.

Damn, my 80 lower just shipped. Sucks that I won't see that jig for close to a month
