But hey, that's just my opinion and I was trying to help Mark Makers with his questions, not throw a bunch of useless bull crap at him by acting like drilling a couple of holes in a piece of aluminum with the help of a template makes me some kind of master firearms maker.

Did someone who built an 80% AR lower frick your wife or something? That's the only reason I could think of why you seem to be so emotionally invested speaking out against 80% lowers.

I'm just sharing informaion. MM might not use it but maybe there is someone else out there that does use it. That's what this thread if for right? Sharing information on AR15s?

I have 3 stripped Anderson lowers I got from AIM. The $39 price after shipping and FFL put them around $51 each. Just 1 was $75 ($10 shipping and $25 FFL). Ordering just 1 makes the deal a little more sour.

If you read my post, I mentioned the reasons why someone would want an 80% lower. Here they are again:
1. You plan on buying these in bulk and producing for profit, which is illegal.
2. You just plain enjoy machining 20% of one part of the rifle.
3. You're a felon and not allowed to buy a finished receiver legally.
You obviously fall within 2. I never said there was anything wrong with that, and it's fine if that's what you want. I understand that this thread is for sharing AR information, but you jumped in the present conversation with information that was only confusing and not cost efficient to someone with basic questions about value and cost effiency. No one gives a shite about your family crest on a firearm that you did not build, only assembled. But if you like it, that's what matters.
