    He mills it flat and finishes it. Worth the $75 or whatever he charges if you want a professional looking job that you really won't notice when you look into the lower.
    In my opinion $75.00 plus shipping is to much. You can buy a high quality stripped lower for less money.

    This comment is retarded.

    A preban lower costs between $500 and $1500

    The sear blocks are installed in preban lowers.

    A quality stripped post ban lower does not cost $75

    True. You can finish that lower off with some model 1 and del ton parts and have a nice retro gun.

    Please don't comment unless you have something to add that is beneficial. This one wasn't.

    Good info already posted, but there is another route to consider. If your goal is to run a decent BCG that isn't the old Sporter style (neutered tail section and exposed firing pin) you can use a semi-auto carrier. You just need to ensure that the tail section is relieved enough (not FA profile) so that it does not contact the block.

    Sporter carrier (one version)

    This is one off the three lowers I did with a POS dremel it took 15 minutes. Two pics are the same lower flash and no flash Iphone pics.

    Advice was given, do what you want. I would want it done professionally considering the value it has.

    Why would you take a dremel to an increasingly rare and expensive lower?
    Get it professionally done.

    I can post a pic of Specialized's work for comparison if necessary. It would have to be after work though.
