I've been interested but unfortunately the only ones I have found are all glock frames (gen 3 at that) and my hands hate glocks. There are so many good gun choices that fit me so much better. I keep trying to like glocks though. Maybe one day.
I got a great deal on a couple Matrix 80% AR lowers from Joe Bobs for $35 each. Supposed to be blemishes, and I did find 1-2 very light scratches in the anodizing that I could only see in good light.
I haven't worked on them yet, maybe I will this winter when things slow down, but they seem very nice for the money.
I've recently been looing into the 80% frames and lowers and was quite surprised at the depth of frames and lowers available. I'm thinking about doing an 80% gun as a project or setting one of the advanced kits (all parts + 80% frame/lower) back as a hedge against worse case scenarios.
I did the same, bought some lower blems and used a drill press with an anderson jig.
take your time, don't get in a hurry. They turned out great.
I spend more time trying to protect the jig because I don't want to wear it out. Once you get the lower properly marked and started. The rest is easy. Just go slow, let the drill press do its work.
Much faster using a router jig. I know a couple guys that have them and love them. Plus they are getting cheaper now if you don't already have a drill press.
