Machining an AR15 lower receiver

[Highpower]

Thanks Ken. Luckily I found Ray Brandes' write up on machining these after I located the first set of drawings. That definitely helped more than anything. Having purchased several of his products in the past I knew I couldn't go wrong. His work is incredible.

The next build will be even more challenging for me. I used a factory CMMG upper for this one. For the next one I want to make use of a Colt conversion unit that I have. I'll be starting off with a 1" barrel blank that I want to be a bull-barreled dedicated .22 rimfire rifle. I'll have to remove the chamber adapter from conversion unit because there won't be a .223 chamber to insert it into.

The fun will be in figuring out how to attach the conversion unit directly to the barrel and then chamber it in .22LR. So it's definitely going to be a Frankenstein project. We'll see how it goes.....
