Well, finally, got my mini mill up and going and started working on my first AR 15 lower receiver, not really hard at all, but there is a learning curve to figure out one of these mini manual mills, but I think it is starting to come out okay.

Thanks, went a bit better than I expected, until I tried to put it together this morning and somehow I measure incorrectly and had to take it apart so I can mill it a bit deeper. Crap, and I thought I was doing so well.

Then that darn front pivot pin detent, twice that thing went flying, fortunately the wife has a knack for finding things like that, but to be sure, I ordered a pack of 10 new pins and springs this morning!
