Pretty straight forward. Good videos on Youtube how to mill it out. |
Cons: |
Don't make my mistake. |
Ok. I ruined my lower. (completely my fault). I drilled the side holes first, the trigger, hammer and safety holes before I milled out the inside of the receiver. After I drilled the holes and milled out the receiver, I used a wood chisel to smooth the sides, which did work to take the rough edges out, up until I managed to catch one of the trigger pin holes with the edge of the chisel and broke a chunk of plastic out of the inside, and ruined the pin hole. Oh well, live and learn. I got the unit on sale so I wasn't too upset. Just learn from my mistake everyone. Mill the inside out first, smooth out the rough edges, THEN DRILL THE PIN AND SAFETY HOLES!!!!
