    Just so you know.

    Helping someone mill a 80% is against the rules. Rumor has it even loaning out equipment to do the job is. It was put into effect to stop build parties.

    You would need to buy the mill and after done sell it back

    Or don't let Mr.ATF man be the guy that "helps" you.

    Or on the other food Don't be the guy with a mill that helps out MR.ATF man.

    Some years ago, my understanding was if milling an 80% lower, you could be instructed or coached on how ti do itm but the owner of the lower had to do the actual work for it to be legal. You could also "borrow" a milling machine to do the work.

    I think the case may be that the laws regarding this are so vague, that they can be interpreted in different ways, according to whom you talk to about them.

    It is also illegal for a private individual to complete an 80% in their friend or neighbor's garage using using the friend's equipment. Essentially this means the only way to complete an 80% lower is to buy your own equipment (jig, drill press, drill bits, or CNC machine, etc.) and finish it in your own home.Jan 7, 2015

    Thanks for the clarification the laws about that. I looked all over the ATF website and couldn't find anything that specifically addressed the machine usage part legalities.
