Ray Brandes literally wrote the book on machining raw forgings for the AR15. Here it is:

I did my first two ar's on my square column mill without a DRO, download the Ray Vin write up if you can't find it holler at me and I'll send it your way.
RE: AR-15 Build - Vinny - 10-25-2016
Are all of you referring to the same write up? Tom's link pointed to the same one that the page for the lower Ed just bought had a link to. Dallen's referring to the Ray Vin write up and a google search takes you to the same thing! "ray brandens complete ar 15 build" So I guess that's the one to go by?

They are one and the same.

Yup, I've already got that PDF file. I found it yesterday while perusing the internet for AR15 build info.

Totally illegal here. Each receiver must have a serial number on it and you must have a licence to have one in your possession (doesn't matter if there is no barrell etc).
RE: AR-15 Build - TomG - 10-26-2016
You'll have to build one over here Darren. I would be glad to shoot it for you. :)

Over this side of Oz I don't think it's even possible to get such a license. I'm probably being watched now just for clicking on the link.

Got it.

Have you thought about a lower parts kit yet? I'm looking at this one: http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Anderson_Manufacturing_AR15_Stripped_Upper_Receive_p/ander-lpk.htm What they don't say in the listing is the trigger and hammer are blackened stainless steel, it's made to mil spec, and 100% made in the USA. That vendor is made up of vets.
