So I decided to make an 80% pistol.
Here it is a g19: https://kek.gg/i/5w5f_n.jpg
Got the frame from GlockStore.com for $150.
Got the rest of the parts including the lower parts kit for about $360 at 80PBuilder. They had a complete upper for 10% off with an extra discount for a blemished slide.
Overall you can do this easily with hand drills and files. I did the major work in 1 hour and hand finished everything as cleanly as possible with files in another 2. This includes time spent fixing a trigger issue and press fitting pins without a press. My holes weren't aligned perfectly so there were some fitment issues to deal with as well. Use a drill press if possible.
Overall I really enjoyed making this and had fun. Will definitely do another in the future.
