- INTRODUCING -

The revolutionary AR15 lower receiver milling adapters.

These new AR15 lower receiver milling adapters allow you to remove the material from the fire control area in AR type lower receivers.  The adapters are sold as sets.  One adapter allows you to drill the hole locations and the other adapter allows you to remove the material using your drill press.  With these adapters you can remove the material from the fire control pocket as well as the shelf inside the fire control pocket.  The adapters have a hard anodized coating that is gray in color (shades of gray may vary).  This hard anodize finish give the aluminum adapters very good wear resistance.  

The milling adapters can be used to finish the 10% AR45 lowers sold on this website.  They have also been used to successfully complete Kevin's new 80% AR15 lower receivers.  Kevin has made it easier to complete an 80% lower receiver by leaving the fire control area solid, drilling most of the side holes and tapping the buffer tube hole.  Visit the tutorial for more details on how to finish Kevin's new 80%'ers.  You can get more details about Kevin's 80%'ers further down this page.  Also visit the tutorial for details on how to modify your existing AR15 drilling jig so the adapter kit will work with it.

Included with each adapter kit:

- (2) adapters

- (4) bolts to secure the adapters to the drilling jig

- 3/8 solid carbide endmill American Made

- Quick start instruction guide  

- NOTE: The AR15 drilling jig is sold separately.  

 

Drills needed: (estimated prices)

1/8 Drill - # 60221413 - $1.27

3/8 Drill - # 81181240 - $5.90

7/16 Drill - #60221611 - $7.50

1/2 Drill (Optional) - #01380328 - $17.34

 

It's never been cheaper to complete your own AR15 lower receiver.  With the 80% AR15 lowers that have the fire control pocket milled out you will end up spending around $172 for the drills and taps.  For the 80% AR15 lowers (like Kevin's) that do not have the fire control pocket mill out you will only have to spend around $15 for the drills plus the cost of the milling adapter and endmill which is $124.95 for a total of $139.95  That is a savings of $32 over the older style 80% AR15 lowers.  These figures are based on current prices of drills and taps.  As the cost of drills and taps increase the savings of using the milling adapter go up and up.  These cost comparisons are only estimates, actual cost may vary depending on tooling needed and 80% lower chosen.

AR15 LOWER RECEIVER SETUP DRILL JIG

The original CNC machined setup blocks / drill guide for completing your 0% - 80% (casting or forged) AR15 lower receiver. The blocks have a black anodized finish.  I enjoy helping people get started in this hobby, so let me know if you ever have any questions. YOU WILL NOT FIND THIS KIND OF SUPPORT ANYWHERE ELSE!!!

A great deal of research and design time was put into these blocks to make sure they were as user friendly as possible. These blocks will help hold the receiver flat and square while you finish the work needed to get your receiver machined into a firearm.  The blocks are machined to mil-spec standards, so every hole is right on the money.  The jig includes the drilled and tapped holes for the optional milling adapter plate (listed above).  

Applications

Using this jig is as easy as 1-2-3; (1) Place the blocks on both sides of the receiver and loosely tighten the two bolts, (2) Put the assembly upside down on the edge of a flat table and use another flat surface to make sure the back of the receiver is coincident with the back surface of the blocks ~this step is for location purposes~ (these two location surfaces must be right to finish specs before use), (3) Then simply tighten the bolts and you are ready to drill the side holes or do any other work that needs to be done on your receiver.

Bolt Catch Hole and Buffer Tube Area

This AR-15 jig will also aid you in drilling the bolt catch hole as well. Simply slide the block with the slots (as seen in the photo) over the receiver and clamp them together with a C-clamp and you are ready to drill the bolt catch hole, nice and straight without worrying about a crooked hole and ruined project. To get the pistol grip hole finished just slide the pistol grip onto the receiver and mark where the hole should be drilled. Then place a 2 ½" block under the receiver (as shown) to easily drill the pistol grip hole. This way of drilling the hole is by far the easiest method.

You can also use this AR15 jig to make sure you get that tricky buffer tube area drilled and tapped the first time. These blocks will even help you drill the front detent pin and any other work on top or bottom of the receiver. The jig is so EASY to use, that you can finish out your receiver using little more than a cordless drill with the proper drill bits. No matter what side of the receiver you need to machine or drill, these setup blocks will insure you hold your receiver flat and square every time. The blocks have a black anodized finish, so you will be able to use these blocks many times.  This is the same mil-spec anodized finish that the military uses, so you know it will last a very long time.  

The blocks are shipped with a quick start instruction sheet to assist you in using your blocks for the first time. You can also view the tutorial at this link CNC Gunsmithing Jig Tutorial.  More details about the jig can be found at this link.

This AR15 jig will save you time and money.  No more trashing a receiver because you drilled a hole off position or at an angle. This is a must have for finishing an AR-15 receiver the EASY WAY!  Get yours now at this very reasonable price.

Be sure to check out the tutorial on how to use the CNC Drill Jig to complete an AR15 80% lower receiver.  You might also find the answer to your question on the forum under the FAQ section.  If you still can't find the answer to your question, feel free to contact me. jwh02017@hotmail.com


Drills

I have put together a list of the drills/tap you will need to purchase in order to complete your receiver.  I don't sell these tools since you will be able to buy them cheaper from MSC www.mscindustrial.com  Below you will see the part number and the price of each tool.  Due to constantly changing fuel and metal prices, the drill/tap prices below are estimates.


1/4 Drill - # 60221496 - $2.38

5/32 Drill - # 81181109 - $1.71

13/64 Drill - # 60221462 - $1.87

3/8 Drill - # 81181240 - $5.90

1/8 Drill - # 60221413 - $1.27

#42 Aircraft Extension Drill - # 01008424 - $1.99

1 1/8 Drill - # 01341080 - $36.05 #40 Drill - # 01148402 - $1.33
1/4 - 28 Tap - #04460309 - $2.75 1/2 Drill - # 01380328 - $17.34

1 3/16 -16 Tap - # 04863155 - $94.77

#3 Drill - # 01388032 - $4.37

I buy all the tooling for my shop from MSC.  They have great quality and service.  I would highly recommend using them instead of buying from somebody that is reselling the tools to complete the AR-15 receiver. 


AR-15 Receivers

Kevin is selling some of the best 80% AR15 lower receiver forgings that I've ever seen.  The mag well has been broached just like all the big name AR15 manufacturers use, so it has a super nice finish.  Kevin has made improvements over the original style 80% AR15 lowers.  The fire control pocket is now solid, most of the side holes are drilled and the buffer tube hole is now drilled and tapped for you.  With these improvements, its dropped the cost of finishing your own 80% lower because you no longer have to buy all the expensive drills and taps.  Visit the tutorial on how to finish Kevin's 80% lowers.  If you are looking for a 80% AR15 lower receiver, I would highly suggest buying from Kevin.  Be sure to mention my website when you contact Kevin about one of these forgings.  You can contact him at audibk@yahoo.com or visit his website at www.diyguns.us Below is a pic of his receivers.  


If you are looking for a really nice billet lower, then you need to consider the lowers from Yellow Logic.  In case you don't know what a billet lower is, all of my projects on this website are billet receivers, and billet means the receivers are machined from a solid block of material.  The machining from Yellow Logic is OUTSTANDING!!!!  I am very impressed with the quality of machine work they produce.  Their lowers are machined from 7075-T6 billet aluminum.  The mag wells are cut using 2 passes from a wire EDM.  After the lowers are machined they bead blast each lower with a fine glass media that makes the surface super smooth.  There are little to no machining marks on the lower which is hard to believe since it's machined from a solid block of material.  You can use the drilling and milling jigs that I sell to help you complete these lowers.  Click on the pic below to see how much of the lower has already been machined.  For pricing and ordering info click on the following LINK.


KT Ordnance also sells some really nice billet receivers.  So they too have been machined from a solid block of material.  They also sell frames for other firearms which are machined from billet as well.  The drilling and milling jigs that I sell can also be used with these lowers.  Below you can click on a couple pics of their receivers.

                     


A good source for  raw forgings is DSA.  By "raw" I mean no machine work has been completed on the forgings.  DSA has great prices and service.  These mil-spec receivers work flawlessly and are forged 7075-T6 alloy aluminum.  Forging and billet receivers are by far the best quality receivers.  

AR-15 lower receiver forging - #1001
AR-15 A3 upper receiver forging - #1002
AR-15 A2 upper receiver forging - #1003

DSA forgings are $27.95, but if you buy 3 or more they are $24.95


I would stay away from NOC castings.  Their cast receivers tend to be poor quality, and the castings I've seen aren't to mil-spec standards.
