NOTE: this is not a legal question.
Have any of you built an 80% AR-15 lower into a complete rifle? If so, how'd the finished product turn out? Would you put your quality on par with a store-bought AR-15 receiver?
I'm nearing the end of my first AR-15 build, and the bug has definitely caught me (like most guys, I spend too much of my time tinkering with stuff).
I'm thinking of trying an 80% build in the future, mostly just for the novelty of being able to do it. But, this is new territory for me, and I'm only really interested in putting together a quality firearm.
Are the jigs and instructions for these parts of a decent design, and a high enough quality that you can get a good finished product? Which parts would you recommend for such a build?
I'm probably at least a few months out on doing this (blew the $$$ on the current build), but I figured it would be good to research it now!
