Yes stated that stage last night.
I need to clean the bottom 1/8" or so and drill the trigger/hammer pin safety holes.
Looks like some good progress. Any tips for doing this on a drill press ? What size is your x/y vise ?
my cross vise is the big one harbor freight has, not sure of size off the top of my head, did this on a low end table top drill press, just put the speed to the lowest setting on the drill, and take small amounts of material off each pass. If you try to take you much it chatters pretty bad, small amounts = butter smooth. Take your time and watch the available YouTube videos on this being done.
I'll post the finished pictures sometime today, feel free to pm me any questions.
Edit, here's the vise I have, have had it for years.

Thats not bad from a drill press! Do you think an end mill in a press to finish the bottom would work to smooth that part out? I will take a second look at that vice. The reviews were kind of mixed so I stayed away from it, and have been saving for the mini mill. But, If that works for the time being for the cost thats not a bad deal.
Got her done today...
I used the 1/4" endmill for the trigger slot, then worked from the trigger slot to clean up the rest of it. Only had a couple spots where the drill bit went down a bit too far, but in no way affects functionality.

Nice job boltons75. Is the 1/4 end mill the only mill you used ? A 2 flute ? HSS or carbide ?
Carbide, 4 flute eBay specials. The majority of the work was done with a 3\8 endmill. The 1/4 was really only needed for the trigger slot, but that worked to clean the bottom up. I would suggest getting a long one so you can see what your doing.
Great job Shawn! I wish I had gone for those AR15 lowers from precision.
He does have another campaign running, it's not too late. I do have an inside scoop that the prices will go up 5 bucks the last 15 days...
I read that. Thanks.
