Probably. Mill jigs take about one inch of end mills. OAL of 3 3/4 inches with a 4 inch end mill for the trigger pocket (deepest part) is sufficient, at least with a mill and collet.

Then buy a new lower. You now have 2 builds.

I won't be using it for milling, just for the holes that have to be drilled. I'm not sure if the entire jig will fit between the base and the bit. The jig is kinda tall.

Help me pick a lower, /k/. Before you ask, I don't like the B.A.D. lever.

Falkor Ambi receiver set, $525
PRO: Gucci, actually fully ambi (bolt CATCH)
CON: More proprietary parts, fucking expensive.

Rainier Ambi Mod 3, $445
PRO: Built in left mag release, looks nice.
CON: I would have to install a Redi-Catch. Could only lock the bolt from the right side without a mag in. Would have to buy an upper later (sold out).

Some cheap forged lower, $100 or less
PRO: Cheap, strong for it's weight
CON: Have to cut it up to install PDQ for right side bolt catch activation.

I've left out all options that aren't available, even if they meet my criteria (ADM, LWRC IC).

Thanks in advance.

Got dusty during the windy range trip yesterday. This pic was after about an hour, and I was there all day.

Shot my first quarter sized group at 100 yards though, so I was pretty please about that. Trying to work up to 3" groups at 300 yards with handloads.

>So how well does that Burris mount work?

Works pretty well. It's solid and was easy to mount with. Also came with both railed and smooth top clamps so you can pick your preference. I haven't really tried taking it on and off though, so I can't speak to how well it holds zero after that. It held zero fine after the gun was bounced around on a washboard road for miles though.

>>30578371

do you reallly need the ability to lock the bolt back and release from the right side of the lower? are you wrong handed I'm guessing?

if not, KAC ambi lower is king. I'd hunt down an AXTS lower too.

>>30578518

I'm right handed, the right side bolt catch/release feature is just indisputably a better placement for right handed shooters. Unbelievably, people still argue that improving the placement of these controls is retarded. A cheap ass lower with a BAD lever is better than most "not really ambi" lowers.

The KAC lower only allows for releasing the bolt from the right, it doesn't lock it back. It's also an $800 lower for not good reason (without the upper).

You could build a rifle every bit as good for $100-0 less easily.

>>30578764

>>30578790
60-100 dollars

Unless you want billet or ambi

>>30578809

I want TRULY ambi, but there is no good solution for that. It's almost ambi and add the mag release bolt catch or just get a plain lower and cut it for the PDQ.

LWRC IC is not available
ADM UIC is sold out
Falkor has too many proprietary parts and is expensive.

>>30578631

KAC lower comes with a true SOPMOD stock, very good trigger, and quality components. It's also KAC so you gotta pay the GUCCI tax.

Looks like I have my answer, I don't know why I expected anything more out of /k/. Foolish.

Ambi isn't necessary. Move along

>>30578742
>>30578808
kek. to be honest i worded it wrong, i meant right alongside the trigger guard on standby, but my lazy fingers didn't feel like typing it all out for quick reply. anyway. i still stand by my point that the whole ambi shit is pointless as fuck when a left thumb coming off of the upward motion of a mag insertion will suffice just fine and is actually more practical in many ways.

>>30578894

Obviously, controls should require you to remove both of your hands from firing position. Who wants a bolt that is easy to lock back? I want at least 10 steps to clear a jam.

Temperature drift occurs in every weapon with an optic. Rule of thumb is 1 MOA for every 10*increase. temp goes up POI goes up, temp goes down POI goes down.

Their issue was the design and the delamination. The damage is done to the brand.

if you buy a troy rail get the viking tactics one like mine not the squid grip one. if you buy it from viking tactics less of your money goes to troy.

>>30580222
the only thing i noticed is that they look much thinner. I bet it gets hot more quickly. but on the other hand that means its probably lighter and it cools off quicker.

i know mine never gets really hot it gets kind of a dull warm feeling even after rapid fire.

>>30580284
I understand thinking that but I have never heard that before with these handgaurds so I don't think it's an issue with them

Yep, they're pretty good. I have used Magpul MBUS and these and I just like these because they're aluminum. They don't have a flip up button but I can get over that. They look nicer as well.

I had a Midwest Gen 3 M-LOK before the MK4 and I like the MK4 a lot better, aesthetically and practically. The Midwest was so damn slim that it heated up fast as hell.

With a bigger handguard ID, and with a fluted heavy barrel instead of non-fluted like before, I think it should be a lot less hot now.

Yeah, I'm not sure whether one is better than the other between mid and carbine, but I couldn't find many (if any) 16" HBAR's that weren't carbine length.

>>30580560
tenks u
It's getting there. It'll look loads better (and be a lot better, since I won't have any roll pins on my lower) once my Rainier lower comes in. After that I think I'll get some titanium pins and other lower parts from V SEVEN just for some silver accents.

>>30580597
ok cool. i figured just wanted to be sure. your gun looks fucking sick as hell with that mk4/stealth gray furniture setup. very nice!

>>30577431
I too had a similar question during my build

Here is 10"EMR on 16" ballistic advantage w/midlength gas

Also, as much as I do really like the length of this rail, I am starting to realize I may not be able to use front half of forward 12oclock mlok section with how close the t-nut will be to gas block, may have to cut screw down to keep it from pressing on gas tube as well

We will see in a month or so

Could just move everything back a bit, but then my hand won't be in as comfy as a position

Wouldn't be an issue w/ V2 or V3

For anyone buyin V1 just be aware that if you go short, front Mlok sections may not be 100% useable

>>30580633
i wish.
