Default ar-15 drilling jig

Was looking at getting a drilling jig from these guys:

www.ar15plus.com

Has anyone used them and if so how are their products.

If you have bought another jig from someone else please tell me about it and how satasfied with it you were, thanks.

just wondering... why would you want a drilling jig or to even drill your own lower when you can purchase a lower already drilled for a great price?!?

Additionally, to some folks, there is a feeling of uber coolness about building your own gun from scratch.

Satisfying.

CNC gunsmithing jigs are very good as well.

Well, there are several reasons.

Not the least of which is the fact that YOU are the manufacturer and thereby get some real benefits out of 'rolling your own'

You can either inscribe it with a serial number or inscription that has personal meaning to you, such as your birthday or some archaic Latin phrase such as "Sic Semper Tyrannis".

Or, conversely, you can omit ALL serialization and keep it sterile.

You get the satisfaction and intimate working knowledge of a machine you constructed yourself.

You get a fine weapon with no need to get the "nod" from the gov.org prior to owning it, and a weapon the gov.org does not know about can't easily be taken in some potential future confiscatory scheme.

Has NOTHING to do with economics, for as you have pointed out, it is cheaper and easier to get one already assembled..and serial numbered...and registered.

Where does one find such a thing, legally? Sounds like a fun project!

Google is how I found the following:

I dealt with a private guy who owns a CNC mill. I'd have to scrounge to find his information.
