We did it as a social thing with a few of us from work - shelled out for the appropriate jigs and tooling, as well as a trim router. Even sharing the tooling costs between five of us it was more than twice that of one of the blemished stripped lowers at PSA.

It was amusing but I think unless something changes dramatically I'll just go purchase a numbered lower and get on with life. It will make an interesting companion for my 1971 (?) Colt AR-15 though.

Life got weird and I haven't assembled it yet. I have a PSA upper and parts kit waiting...

Can't comment on fab time - I dabbled at it over a week or so but I bet it's an hour or two of chip-making now that I've done it once.
