    I don't know much about this, but thought others might be interested. Basically, you finish an 80% lower on their cnc machine. https://www.facebook.com/events/735754676441480/?ref=22. more info on podcast http://grrc.podomatic.com/ Oct 7 hour 1.

    Since the OP didn't mention it, and many here don't want to go to facebook for any reason, this event starts tomorrow at 4:00pm at HighPlains CNC in Brighton and continues Saturday until 6:00pm. I figure you can call them for details and find out if they're all booked up or not... If nothing else, folks might meet some like minded neighbors.
    Please leave any relevant feedback here:

    Thanks Sawin. Friday night is AR10s and Saturday is AR15s. I understand they will have an equipment supplier there to outfit the lower to a complete rifle if you choose.

    I am here right now. Just finished my AR-10 lower on their CNC machine. Great people! They have Grass Roots Radio 560 AM live broadcasting right now.

    They start AR-15's in the morning. They have a lot of different anodized colors on them.

    Do I have to bring cash or do they accept debit?

    The guy selling the lower blanks takes cc or cash, but the guy who owns the CNC only takes cash.

    Yes. It was $78 for me to operate the CNC machine for the AR10. They had a guy who stood at the machine and walked you through it verbally, but never touched the machine or your blank. You did all the set up, clean up and the operating of the machine.

    The price is cheaper for the AR15 lower, but I forget exactly how much.

    No vendors were there though as they were apparently setting up at the tanner.

    They sold out of the AR10's tonight, but had a number of different colors for the AR15 available.

    All in all, it was a great experience I thought.
