80% lower Question

[jkoby27]

80% lowers are just all around a bad idea. I have lost count how many I've worked on and found them improperly finished, improperly made from the factory, too soft an aluminum... Throw in one can't get the aluminum surface hardened by some sort of finish coating and you have a lower that's going to wobble out the holes in no time. Waste of money and time.

Hey SA if your so against 80% lowers and if they are just a bad idea then why were you grilling me about how to anodize one. You obviously don't care for them. Were you even interested in the anodizing or were you just trying to be an asshole in my thread cause you don't like 80% lowers. Also why are you working on 80% lowers if your so against them and they are crap? All the reputable gunsmiths I know refuse to even touch them because it's up to the owner to complete them.

If you're done with this forum, be done with it. No one likes a sniffling little baby that sulks around every where. People were "grilling" you about the anodizing because they were interested in whether you did it yourself, or had someone else do it for you. If you did it yourself, they were interested in a write up of your experience. No one needs your help to learn a new skill, but they'd surely be interested in what you did, and whether you'd do the same thing again or make any changes.

We COULD have been talking about this in your own thread, but since you threw a fit and deleted all your posts, we can't do that. Now you're over here crapping in another guy's thread. Internet forum party foul bra. You were off to a great start, don't screw it up now. You need to understand that if you put yourself out there online, you're going to get feedback and questions. If you want to just put up pictures of something you've done that turned out well, and don't want any comments or questions or interaction, then Pintrest is more your speed.

Whoa, that's new news to me. I thought you could make a fine lower out of a forged 80% lower. Is it the lack of hard anodizing in the holes that makes them more prone to wearing out? Would hard anodizing one after being completed solve that issue? Would that even be an option on an anodized 80% lower? I know the average home builder will have less accurate results than a manufacturer and that's another issue altogether.

I love the idea of building one for the sake of saying I did it myself but not if it's going to be vastly inferior.

Just use some KNS pins and never think about it again.

That guy seemed pretty capable and I'd like him to give it another shot, but not everyone figures out the nuances of the Internet forum right away.

Kind of what I was thinking, unfortunately I don't think he's having any part of it.
