    Default BESIDES AR's, what else can you build from a kit? 80% ers?

    Just wondering if there are other firearms besides ARs that a relatively non-technical person can build from a kit? I remember years ago (like 30 years ago), SGN used to advertise M1911 kits that had everything but the frame. Do they still make those? And is there such a thing as an 80% 1911 frame that can be finished out by a hobbyist?

    Curious more than anything else. I still have an 80% AR lower and jig that I haven't started on yet but I'm hoping to make it my winter "project."

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

    There are a number of companies selling a 80% 1911 frame and jigs for them. The aluminum ones appear to be the easiest to work with.

    AK receivers come in 80% kits as well. Flats you bend with a jig and weld the rails onto.

    I'm sure there is more, but these are what I have knowledge of.

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    Tactical machine shows 80% 10-22s, although I have never seen them in stock.


    Edit: they're actually in stock now...

    Glocks, 1911s, AK variants, FALs, G3 patterns, etc. I have several belt fed (semi-automatic) - 1919s and the like.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    M2 ma dueces also. Mac guns used to be available in kits. I'm currently working on a better glock kit. Ppsh. A few Derringer kits.

    Also check parts kits on any surplus dealers site. Most of them have some form of receivers available
