A date needs to be settled, I more than likely won't have a lower to do.

I think July 19th would be a good date for me, how does that work for everyone else?

Any plans for an assembly party? Could we get any vendor to sponsor it?

If you have the parts I'm sure we could assemble it, it's not hard at all.

I was thinking about everyone brining their own parts and getting help from more experienced users on tips to assemble it. Doing it at a vendor site, we could buy missing parts, parts that were mismatched, parts that get lost in the build (gas rolling pin comes to mind laugh ), or upgrades. Maybe the vendor could charge a 'class fee' that could we waived if you bought some of the parts from them at the event.

Hope this isn't dead. Looking forward to finishing a Polymer80 G150 and Ares Armor 80% anodized aluminum lower. I will bring along a brand new Ares Armor AR15 80% jig.

I met up at Lanham's place this past weekend with a buddy who helped out when I needed a second set of hands and eyes. He helped us learn his tools and was 100% helpful whenever I had questions. I left his place on Saturday with hands and feet bruised, bleeding, and sore from working at the mill all day long, and again on Sunday. Yeah, it was my first time using a mill so it took way longer than it should have and I still managed to make some mistakes along the way, but I couldn't be happier with the finished product:





For anyone that wants to know, the rifle is a 14.7" pinned birdcage carbine gas rifle kit from PSA assembled on a now-100% 80% anodized lower from Ares Armor.

Thanks again Lanham, hope the fish are biting down in VA beach and you're enjoying the hell out of this amazing weather we've been having these past few days.

I think we have done 8 lowers so far, i hope to have the mill converted to cnc in the next month or two so it should be much faster to do them.

Just give me a call when you want to do the barrel
