AR Buildfest 2013

That's more with shop, wait and travel time than a billet unit, ready to go.

That is true for the AR-15 blanks. I bought the AR-10 blank and with the use of the CNC machine, still came out cheaper than buying a ready to go lower receiver, if you factor in shipping, FFL fees and the like.

There were a few people there very vocal about having receivers that the .gov doesn't know about. A lot of talk about the ATF and registration lists. Some guys were a little overboard and their tin hats were a little tight. For me, it was a cheaper alternative for a hard to find lower receiver.

There is a special kind of Coolness Factor in making a gun yourself. To be able to put your own markings on it with no one else's markings there is also part of that Cool Factor. Or not having to any markings on it all.

I tend to agree with that.

LOL! I guess they believe the IRS will never audit him and ask for those signed waivers, er..... I mean tax receipts, they left behind.
