New here, first post. Hope this is the right section for this.
I went to the vallejo gun show a few weeks ago and bought an 80% lower from a guy. The company logo and all info had been machined off. He said that the company is no longer around. I ordered a jig from Daytona tactical and it came in yesterday. I was pretty excited for this build as its gonna be my fist 80. My excitement was soon killed. It turns out that my lower was less than 80% and would not fit in the jig. Now I'm no metal worker an I don't have a mill so I had to use a dremil tool and a sharp chisel to grind and scrape away at the receiver in a few spots to get it to fit.
Well after I managed to get all the parts lined up, I started to drill the safety, trigger and hammer holes. After I took the jig out of the vice and looked at it I noticed the safety hole is high and to the right and the pin holes aren't in line where they should be. I Assume this is from a receiver. I'm gonna go ahead and mill out the rest of it just to see if my LPK will fit.
The last picture is pretty rough. I've smoothed it out but haven't taken a picture yet. When I get off work I'll get some better ones.
Has anyone had any experience with Daytona jigs?
