Excellent Jig

Couldn't be happier. Milling down the inside is a breeze. I was nervous about the alignment of the safety and trigger holes. Turns out I didn't need to worry at all. They lined up perfectly. The kit shows a short alignment pin and a long one. It only comes with a long one. Which works completely fine. When using the kit I recommend setting the dep...Read More

From ease of use, to the outstanding results on the finished lower, to the remarkable customer service, my entire experience has been better than I could have hoped fo...Read More

Great Products

I have used 5D Tactical since my first build,with the 5D Tactical Jig Pro,

Their customer service is second to none, when I had a problem with my first lower selector switch, 5D sent me a new lower and side walls for the JIG at no cost. . When I have a question I have a response within a couple of days.

They have fast shipping...Read More

and a great selection of lowers in different colors.

Directions are straight forward on how to mill out the lowers. You can find the video on their website and on YouTube.

Being able to save money on the end mill replacement is a great option also,

The only con I can find is you cannot order the drill bits by themselves they come with the kit, however you can find the sizes at different Hardware stores. Read Less

My cousin and I ordered

My cousin and I ordered the jig with extra drill bit pkg. My first lowers were one billet and one forged, both raw. I purchased the 611 router and all went together perfectly as explained in the instructions. Completion time is approximately 1 hour for each.
Since then we have purchased more, anodized forged. The only issue I have is drilling...Read More
