The universal fit Gen 1 AR-15 Easy Jig® is a patented router jig that makes machining your 80% lower easier, faster, and safer by utilizing a router instead of a drill press. The Easy Jig® allows you to complete an 80% lower in about 1/3 the time it takes to complete a lower on an old style drill press jig. This 80% lower receiver router jig is easy enough for a caveman to use. It definitely lives up to its name. You also save money on tools. You do not need to own a drill press, mill, or any measuring tools to use the Easy Jig®. The Easy Jig® is built like a tank (weighs over 6 lbs) and can be reused for dozens of lower receivers.
Gen 1 Easy Jig® highlights:
Universal Fit
- We guarantee our Gen 1 AR-15 Easy Jig® universal jigs will fit all forged and billet AR-15 lowers except for New Frontier Armory, Iconic Industries, our new style AR-15 lowers, and lowers with Ambidextrous Bolt Release lowers. We recommend our AR-15 Billet Lower Classic design in Type III Anodized
Easier
- Built-in drill/end-mill depth gauge for the trigger and rear-shelf pockets.
- Eliminates the need for expensive measurement tools
- Quick verification of depth setting – eliminates slippage issues that can ruin parts
- Eliminates constant measuring to determine depth while milling
Safer
- End-mill downward force can’t separate the router drill press taper chuck
- It is safer to move router by hand than to move the jig around on a drill press
Uses Common Hand Tools
- The Easy Jig® will hold tight tolerances using a common hand-drill
- No drill press is required, milling is done with a router
- Routers are much more portable than a drill press, easily borrowed from a friend. 80% Arms has the Freedom Router if you need to purchase one
- Routers are made for cutting pockets using a template
- Routers are cheaper than a drill press (about 75% less expensive).
Faster
- Pocket drilling requires 10 holes drilled once – Traditional jigs require 42 holes to be drilled once, precisely aligned and clamped, then re-drilled to a larger diameter
- Trigger pocket can be cut in 6 to 11 passes vs 25 passes required with a drill press
- Router cuts pockets 5-6x faster
- Hand-drilling the trigger group/safety selector holes is faster to setup
- Lower can be completed in under 1 hour (vs of 3 hours for the old drill press method)
Durable
- The Gen 1 Easy Jig® can be used to make dozens of lower receivers
- Components are Type III hard anodized for extra wear resistance
