In the sister article to this one, I showed a video of Defense Distributed’s Ghost Gunner CNC mill that details finishing an 80% AR lower receiver. As a counterpoint to the automated version, I’d like to show finishing off an 80% receiver using jigs from 80% Arms.

The Jard J68 is made from a simple formula. Pistol-caliber carbine = fun. Â Bullpup = handy. Â Pistol-caliber carbine bullpup that accepts Glock magazines = Jard J68. Â In other words, I’m really looking forward to some trigger time with the Jard J68. Jard is a company based in Iowa and known for their superb triggers. Â If […]
