[QUOTE="budlight, post: 3082574, member: 2939"] Makes you wonder who you can believe! I do know that 7075 stuff is really hard to even drill or machine. I had to buy special bits for my verticle mill to mod things. My 308 upper and lower weren't quite right. I built all my stuff long ago and each of my ar 15 rifles are about $1000 to $1200 in just parts without optics. Who knows what it would cost now? I have never bought blems! A buddy tried to save money on a 7075 upper and lower. The trigger mounting holes were off side to side as were the upper pull down pin hole on the front. It took some time jigging them up on a mill and going to the larger pin drop in trigger. Not even worth the few bucks he saved on blems. [/QUOTE]
