Over the last several months, I've been slowly building from 80% a 5.56 pistol.  The best jig on the market is the one from 80%Arms called - "The Easy Jig". The EJ uses a router and can pretty much guarantee a successful cut with a FC pocket that looks like a CNC did it.  I got the Universal version because I didn't want to use their lower (needed ambi).   The instructions and Youtube video make it so easy.  It is all done with feel vs eye when routing.  Go slow and don't try to rush and you'll get a perfect lower.  A drill press makes it easier and I would recommend that.  Again, a link to the 80%Arms jig is here:  80% Arms Universal Easy Jig . I wanted this build to have an ambi bolt release and the only 80% that had this was from Quentin Defense.  Their billets are really nice and over the years, I've built at least 4 of their lowers.  You can get one here:   Quentin Laser - 80% Ambi Billet Lower .

Quentin Laser - Ambi Lower

I finished my 80% lowers using the QD ambi and the 80%Arms easy jig.  The 80%Arms easy jig allows the user of an end-mill and a router which make the fire control pocket nearly perfect.  Here's a picture of them before paint and buildup. You cannot have the Autobot without have a Decepticon.  One will be 5.56 and the other in 300BLK.  Guess which one will get the 300BLK upper?
