WORTHLESS VIEDO
Save yourself a lot of money and I will even more hassle and don't buy anything from the Schnucks it's pretty obvious what kind of low-rent derelict ghetto operation they got going in Florida down there so I guess it stands to reason you get what you pay well that's not true you don't even get that much completely misleading website completely misleading advertising it's a bunch of f**** b***** in my opinion they only have the lowest prices because you don't get the whole f**** kit to build the goddamn thing in the first place and it does not come with a magazine it after they f*** you in the raw dog style for the extra 8894 the piece of s*** jig kit that they have it doesn't come with any f**** tools every other spot you can get these 80% at least send you tools with their jig kit save yourself the hassle don't f*** with these guys
Uh… ar15 not for hunting? Stop it…
In the middle east. Sargent said he was able to purchase. Then says he knows nothing about an AR. Double talk. Not cool.
How long was the shipping?
You have to mill the lower receiver only 80% is milled that is why it requires no ffl shipping and, provides a jig for drilling the top holes on the receiver beside the buffer tube's thread circle but, if you aren't an avid builder or gunsmith buy a stripped lower from another site to a ffl dealer many cost the same as the one the build kit provides and, lower stripped receivers mostly are milled more precise plus the parts for the stripped lower receiver come with the kit already you don't need any additional parts just a stripped lower receiver with your Daytona Tactical AR build it's also a easy way to register your gun with an ffl dealer too a gun without a serial # is bad news if it gets stolen in the future it can't be tracked to a ffl dealer so you can reclaim it plus it's not wise to have a firearm with no serial markings at all to begin with.
I purchased my kit from Daytona Tactical and it’s missing the stock and all the hardware. Everything was shipped in one USPS box, which was damaged. They are not accepting phone calls and did return one email, but did not acknowledge the missing parts or unacceptable packaging.
Today the remaining parts showed up UPS undamaged. I will take back what I said about being a repeat customer. Next time I will order upper and lower separately as USPS poorly handles the products.
Dont buy from Daytona tactical they send crap products, they list a phone number on the website. But, you cant call them. They take forever to respond to emails. I got a damaged lower and they will not replace it. Plenty of other places to go. Dont buy Daytona tactical. My upper was blemished as well. I did not buy a blemished version..

Daytona tactical make really high grade parts
Great video!
400 series stainless steel is magnetic.
My first build went flawlessly. It was purchased from another excellent company called Ceratac. My second build will be one purchased from Daytona Tactical. Daytona offers an AR15 set up for 7.62X39 of which I have been wanting. I have an abundance of 7.62X39 ammo but very little .223 or 5.56. So an AR15 in 7.62X39 makes sense for me.
A word of advise to those who are planning their first build. I highly suggest that you have help during the milling process. Get a small tipped funnel or a crevice tool and attach it to the hose on your vacuum system. While milling you need a second person continuously vacuuming up the aluminum shavings. Shavings is not a very accurate word for what you will be dealing with. It is more like aluminum snow. It builds up fast and it goes everywhere. Even connecting the vacuum at the point suggested in the JIG instruction manual was not adequate to keep the work area clean. Once just a little cutting oil is added causes the aluminum to clump up in all the wrong places. You will be constantly stopping to remove the stuff as it bulids up between the End-mill and the Jig. That causes irregular milled surfaces that have to be gone over a second time to correct. My milled surfaces were nearly mirror smooth, which made me happy. All in all I was very pleased at how easy it all was once I got started.
There are different types of stainless steel. I think medical and marine grade are the only ones that will not attract a magnet.
