I have read some about "80%" lower receivers...finish them yourself, etc, etc., and some even come with a "jig".
What do you need to finish one of them? Could I do it with my Harbor Freight, ChiCom drill press, and a non-adjustable drill press vise?. What else would I need, or is it better to buy something already finished, like the Palmetto State Armory "blem" lower? Also...Polymer Lowers? Is that a good idea?
The triggers of "kit" and factory guns are said to be pretty awful. I never thought that about my issue weapon, but it was a .30 Carbine. Heavy, sure, but I could hit what I wanted to.
The PSA "enhanced" trigger...never seen that wording in their information...is said to be better. Their advertised unit, at ~$59, may be the one I have read about. What improvement, if any, does one make?
Is it better to just go with whatever kit barrel they offer, or wait for a "Daily Deal" for one with PSA's "Machine Gun Steel" barrels, given the fact I will never afford to put beaucoup hundreds of rounds downrange? I figure maybe 2-300 to be sure it is working properly, then a box or two monthly to keep magazines rotated, and skills at a reasonable level.
Or, just go with the S&W M&P Sport or a Ruger AR 556?
Thanx.
