Hello all!
I'm not a new shooter, but I'm relatively new to ARs and I've never done a build before--blame it on being a lifelong AK guy. Recently I took advantage of a sale here (https://www.80-lower.com/3-ways-to-save-this-holiday-season-at-80-lower-com/) and took the plunge on a complete AR15 parts set with an 80% lower. I'm sure some of you have done builds like this before, and I have a few questions if you have the time.
Do I need a drill press, or can I just use the jig and a hand drill if I'm careful? I'm relatively good with tools, but I've never done this before. LIkewise, what's the best way to router-out the remaining material in the trigger well? Is there anything else I should know--it looks really simple and in my experience simple things are easy to get wrong.
Thanks in advance--I appreciate being able to tap the hive mind!
Cheers,
Michael
