80% Jigs - Split cost?
« on: December 24, 2014, 12:35:50 AM »
I'm interested in building an AR and, not to get all tinfoil hat, I like the idea of the gov not being in my business.  However, the cost of the jigs seems pretty high since I will probably only build one or two lowers, so I am putting this out there to see if anyone would be interested in splitting the cost, 2, 3 or 4 ways on a jig.  I am thinking about one from modulusarms.com as I really like their colored anodized matched upper and lowers, plus their jig looks pretty nice.

Here is a link to a really good "how-to" with this jig in particular.

Their jig is $149 and bits are $45.

just buy the jig and rent it out loki... I bet it all fits in that $6 flat rate box... $12 plus the rent make it $45 and i bet you pay for itself in no time.  :twocents:
