Title: 80% Jigs - Split cost?
Post by: lokidog 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.

Their jig is $149 and bits are $45.
