I assume you will be collecting funds in advance??? Can you share your plans in this regard?

Thanks for doing this...

Yes, I am collecting funds in advance; cash, check, or money order. Once everybody has paid for their 80% lowers I will place an order for the total amount. The lowers will be shipped to me and I will make delivery arrangements with each individual. Options will include shipping, pick up from me, and pick up at your build party. Upon arrival I will inventory the blanks and box them up for their owner.

Once the group buy is concluded, and everybody has their receivers, I will securely erase the tracking spreadsheet I created.

Very interesting. I'll have the manufacturers letter from the ATF stating our lowers are 80% for anybody who wants a copy.

This may have been covered but I've eaten and slept since then. Do we need to buy our own set of jigs? Where do we send payment? It's $45 each with shipping etc.?
It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

A pistol without a round chambered is an expensive paper weight.

They're $41 each including shipping. If you attend a build party you won't need to purchase jigs, you'll be able to use mine. If you want to buy jigs I made recommendations in an earlier reply. I think on page 2. I'll provide all the information for payment via PM.

Somebody mentioned a pistol build. Should one choose that route, is there any difference in part kits other than the buffer tube? Thanks.

No difference in the lower parts. The buffer, buffer spring, and buffer tube are the only difference.

Order was placed today. I'll be in touch with everybody via PM to arrange build days in the next 2-3 weeks, once my personal schedule is firm.
