That's the one thing I was wondering about, the lines at the gun shows. Is it even worth going to anymore? I was thinking of going one last time before all the politics and gun scare/ban kicks back in. I have seen a little price change at some shops and even noticed that they seem to carry more ammo. Nothing dramatic but a little better than before, but not for long it seems like.

I think it might be difficult to find a shop that will mill it out for you. Certainly they will not advertise that they are willing to if they do it.

I thought the whole thing with those 80% kits was that YOU, the person who owns the weapon, is to finish it.

SlideFire stocks have been around for a while but looks like they are going to produce their own full fledged firearm AND it is approved by the ATF.

I had a friend with a machine shop set up the machine for me and I turned the handle to make the cuts.

Kinda different... as you're actually doing it yourself.

I think you need to know someone with the equipment to do that tho, I doubt a shop that doesnt know you would let someone come in off the street and use their stuff

I have heard of some shops doing it for you, majority I hear is that they give me the tools and teach me how to mill it out myself, problem is the cheapest I've found so far is $60 in Sacramento, I have maybe 5-6 people who need to have theirs milled as well

My friend does it but he is in Arizona I know a machine shop in the area who will likely do it as well since they're starting to make their own lowers.

Good luck to all you AR owners...I have a M1A and still attached to the whole "black assault rifle" bigotry.
