21? What country do you live in?

If you have no experience using tools, you are not going to mill an 80%.

Christ one of these fucking days I will clamp down an aluminum 80%, trace out the cuts with blue, center punch them, use a handheld cordless drill to punch out most of the material and flat bottom them with an endmill (still in a regular hand held cordless drill), then come in with cold chisels and files.

No drill press, no milling machines, all high speed steel (shit had me laughing when people in an old thread were all like "you need carbide for aluminum), and still end up with a better finished AR than a lot of the messes I've seen in here.

OP I don't mean to tilt that hard, it's not aimed at you really, but christ people need to read a fucking book and learn how to actually cut metal and make a good part before they buy a bunch of shit and end up breaking all of it anyway because "b-b-b-but I had a carbide tool and an AR-15 jig and everything!!!".

Get a book first, find some scrap chunks of material, and practice a little bit to get a feel for the operations you'll need to do. Then buy what you need.

get the easy jig for christs sakes
