As fr converting a lower to use it with the link... personally, I would just buy a Bushmaster that will work right out of the box but that might be just me...

I am curious how hard it would be to use a standard drill press and carbide cutters to lower that shelf by .2" and also mill out the sides a little for the Link. I could do the sides w/a dremel since there is not much to cut away.

What do you think?

That would be hard on a drill press as they are not made to handle the lateral pressure like a milling machine but it is just an aluminum alloy so it might not kill your drill press?

It seems that most good gunsmiths would have a mill to do this so I would hire it out if it were me if I really didn't want to just buy another receiver. Then again, if you mess the receiver up it's not like it is that much money to replace it.

Good Luck!

Back on the board after 5 years...man time flies...

Looking for an update on the RLL w/AR-10.

I am looking at a DPMS LR-10 and am just curious would it work with a RLL and what mods if any are needed.

Thx, FH
