Gunsmithing Good company for ar15 80% lowers

[Grizzdude]

I'm looking into building an ar-15 using a 80% machined lower, there's a ton of companies I'm not sure what is the best for my buck. Any recommendations ?

I milled an 80% .308 lower by Juggernaut. It's only 6061 billet, I hear the 7075 is easier to mill. Took me about 4 hours. Replaced my DPMS Panther lower. When I pull the trigger, the hammer falls and sets off the primer so I guess I did it right! desert warrior products dot com

Here anything good about advanced rifles?

Ares Armor is one of the most popular. They are constantly being raided by the ATF, sued by the state of California, investigated for random stuff....so they must be doing something right

I have a hellfire billet they make small and large frame. I have not milled mine yet but the guy I bought it from has done several and he had nothing but good things to say.

I don't see why anyone would fool with an 80% lower. They cost almost as much as a finished one and are a pain in the ass to machine.

If you lived in a place like I do (CA) and had to deal with our firearms laws you would understand. They sell 5.56 and .308 "paper weights" at the local survival store. I don't have any but they are rather popular out here.
