Rocket Hub

[Casper29]

Have you seen the postings on rocket hub for 80% ar lowers, going for $35 and up has anyone tried this site and are they legit?

[KCSO]

You will need a milling machine to finish one.

Looking around the web Rocket Hub seems legit but no idea on the actual manufacture. Hopefully someone else knows something about them. Looks like the offer is done now.

I ordered two lowers from one of three offering them the first of May. I just got an email today saying the funding was complete and I should receive the lowers mid June. A milling machine is not necessary just a decent drill press. The one I ordered ships with jigs to complete the machining.

Can you give us an update when they come in about how you like them?

[Casper29]

There are several still going I think about 7 you have to go into catagorys and select view all.

By the look of it there are multiple events going on on Rocket hub. Here is the main page I found that shows all of them with which ones are still open. I didn't realize how many there were.

I went for 2, one from Pebblepeak and one from Precision Arms. Pebblepeak comes with a jig that may be plastic, not sure. Will post some pictures if and when.

Well for that price I guess you can't be picky but a plastic drill jig???

At the top if you click on Browse and select see all - then in Categories select buisness - then in Subcategories select sports it will cut out all the music and arts and display a smaller list that includes all the Fire Arms stuff.

I went for one from 3 campaigns, and a 10/22 also... I'll update also. All 3 of the campaign's I'm in on have ended.

I just got an email from precision arms, he is doing the AR and 10/22, but they are running the AR's first. Anyway, since I was his first funder of the project he's going to send me his first production ready prototype to get my input. He says I'll have the AR receiver in hand sometime next week. Just need a jig now, I ordered one from another project, but who knows how long till that shows up.

[boltons75]

He just sent me photos of the receiver back from anodizing, this is what he's going to send out to me tomorrow. He's waiting on delivery of the aluminum, and my feedback, then production starts.

Thought this deal might interest some.

[SeabeeMan]

I've got a pebble peak lower coming at some point. That's a sweet deal...mags alone are just about worth that. I think I'll be grabbing that tonight.

[boltons75]

I grabbed mine last night, then the stock kit for 50 bucks, I have the precision arms lower prototype coming next week. I also funded pebble peak and sierra nevada arms.

Question
Using one of the commercially available jigs, can the average Joe truly use just a drill press and drill bits to complete the lower?

[akraven]

You can look at some of the video's on Youtube of the process and decide how your skills compare.

That right shelf needs to be cut at a 45 or dropped down a bit. It will not allow the dust cover to fully drop in its current form. Glad someone here got the first one. I ordered from several of the funding projects including this one. I think I was the last one. Ordered a 10/22 receiver. I have already done a 10/22 razor and have the jig, and bits so this should take under an hour of work to complete. There was one that I pulled my money from, but it was not soon after that his funding project got pulled from RH.
