Anybody try the Ghost Gunner to mill 80% lowers into finished receivers?
Not so cost effective for one or two lowers, but....

Dumb commercial. I will only be interested when it can mill from aluminum bar stock.

Whoa! Do tell man! What do you like, not like? Do you have a GG1 or GG2? How is quality of finished milled lower?I got one......
I think a large part of the justification is that these lowers don't need to be serialized.No thanks. Lowers are so accessible and easy to find and I don't need 30 of them....
Interesting I thought their spindles couldn't handle the deep mag well cut. Programming can be done relatively easy if you understand G-code.It can if you can program it.

I take it back. Yo do a magwell you pretty much need a broach (wire etc)
Mine is a gen 1. I just upgraded to a gen 2.
I have done 556 and 308. 1911 are next.
It is a fun toy.
Cool. Any particular forged lowers that work (or don't work) with the GG2 in your experience?I take it back. Yo do a magwell you pretty much need a broach (wire etc)

Use raw. You get like 14:3
Have tried any forged lowers (anodized or not)?Anodized lowers tear it up. Tears up its and wears the spinal prematurely.

Other thanthatbe sure you get lowers that have the rear takedown fully machine so the upper fits.
Sooner or later someone will just post that program for download.It can if you can program it.
What does this mean?

Or just billet?

I'm surprised there aren't a dozen pistol receiver programs out there now.
I work with a full blown CNC machine and occasionally write code for them. I have yet to ask if I can mill lowers there on a Saturday. I'm afraid to let the cat out of the bag because I think a lot of my coworkers would want to come in and mill their own also.
How do you finish your milled lowers Bullet Guy?
True but I work with enough like minded people they would show no matter what time it is.You should probably ask to Mill on Sunday, early am Monday, say 2am while the world is asleep!

Agreed that's why it hasn't happened and very well why I may never ask. How does that work sending them out to be coated? Just like shipping a firearm to a manufacture for repair?See my above post. Now that you have written in perpetuity on the internet i would be EXTREMELY cafeful no "build parties" happen.

You get 14 raw before bit wear out to 3 anodized before bit wear out.
Ever anodize here? They are an FFL.Anodizing companies will probably want an ffl. They isually have a small batch fee of around $300.
Many firearms not have a serial number and the ATF has given instructions on how to deal with that. That does not mean that they will do it for you. Some of them get real weird about that kind of stuff.
You can send them out for Cerekote to a local place that will probably do it no problem again they should be following the law, but some do and some don't.
I would be happy to cerekote them. Usually runs about $50 per piece (individual pieces) plus associated shipping costs.
