I was under the impression you could only use a pre-86 reciever. How do you convert a modern reciver to FA?

Does the Bowers jig work good? Are you all just using a drill or reaming? Or a combo of both?

Mill & Drill. The Bowers kit works good and also specs out the milling requirements.

Sorry to be a pest, but this stuff is interesting... do you anodize the machine work, or just roll with it in the white?

Now I'm going to be a pest...

What's the difference between an M16 and an M4A1 lower (both FA)?
