Thumbs up Check it out: billet AR-15 receiver

Fresh out of the milling machine...





My buddy that I met in my machining class cut these out today. The plan is to start full production and sling out high quality billet AR-15 parts and various black rifles. Next thing to do, is throw it in the anno tank and do some cool graphics or something. You like? I like!

CNC. The program uses something like 24 different tools, the carousel was completley full if I remember correctly.

You got the manufacturing license? Either way, nice work. I wish I could program a CNC.

Soon! If I got it rigt, we'll need a type 07 FFL. The biggest thing we need to do is find a building where we could conduct business.

Thanks for answering, if it was done by hand I was going to give 4 thumbs up, two for the work and two for the time spent doing it
