takedown pin 308 an ar-10 buffer plate takedown adapter and takedown pin the drill guide buffer adapter 14 jig screws and a guide pin set additional tools needed include a 3/8 2160 fourths and 5/32 drill bit our new 5 D tactical ready mil here and I protection a router a handheld drill wd-40 or cutting fluid a vise C clamps number two phillips screw driver and a 764 allen wrench prior to jig assembly apply masking tape to the sides of the receiver begin by applying the buffer plate to the back of the receiver as shown and then loosely thread the buffer adaptor until pressed against the buffer plate use the gray buffer plate for ar-15 and AR nine receivers and the black buffer plate for 308 and ar-10 receivers loosely install the takedown adaptor to the guide plate using two jig screws use the gray takedown adapter for ar-15 and AR nine and the black takedown adapter for 308 and a ten align the receiver with the takedown adapter and install the takedown pin use the small takedown pin for ar-15 and AR nine and the large takedown pin for 308 and AR ten now align the buffer plate with the holes in the rear of the guide plate and loosely install two jig screws next tighten the four jig screws securing the buffer plate and takedown adapter to the guide plate orient the side plates observing left and right with the flat sides facing out set the guide plate and receiver assembly atop the side plates and align the eight screw holes loosely install eight jig screws and then tighten securing the guide plate to the side plates next while grasping the guide plate pass the Phillips screwdriver through the holes in the buffer adapter and tighten as shown here lastly we're going to install the drill guide as shown loosely insert two jig screws and then tighten with the jig fully assembled we're going to install the 5d tactical ready mill and the router adapter remove the plastic plate from your router base and separate the base from the router next you need to completely remove the collet the ready mill is available in various sizes and has been custom designed to fit over 20 popular router models thread the ready mill on to your router and then tighten using a wrench once the ready mill has been tightened reinstall the router base orient the router adapter with the bearing facing toward the router and so the notch in the router adapter is facing away from the power cord pass the large diameter portion of the ready mill through the bearing centering the router adapter on the router in our case the four screw holes in the base need to be aligned with the router adapter and secured with the for supplied router that screws other models require the router side block and you should review our written instructions for how to install the router adapter on your router visit 5d tactical dot-com for a complete list of compatible routers clamp the jig securely in a vise as shown by the notches provided in the edges of the side plates do not clamp the jig by the outside of the side plates or damage to your jig will occur we'll now drill the milling pilot hole spray wd-40 into the drill guide hole and insert the 2160 fourths drill bit do not start the drill until the bit is fully inserted into the guide using care to keep the drill bit straight and perpendicular to the receiver begin drilling periodically pull the drill bit out of the guide to clear chips and apply wd-40 liberally drill until the bit exits the bottom of the receiver with the necessary drilling complete you may uninstall the drill guide by removing the two jig screws prior to milling you must install the number one short guide pins using the two guide pin screws and a seven sixty fourths allen wrench the open end of the pin should be facing up make sure the pins are fully seated and do not over tighten the screws you may install the vacuum hose at this time an inch and a quarter vacuum hose is required now set the end mil depth to the first hash mark using depth gauge number one set the depth by holding the bottom of the router adaptor against the edge of the guide plate be sure the guide pins are not between the adapter and guide plate be sure the router depth adjustment is locked after each depth setting orient the jig so the buffer extension is closest to the user place the router on the guide plate with the end mil centered within the drill hole the guide pins should be positioned inside the number one guide cavities on both sides set your router to the highest speed setting do not insert or remove the end mill while the router is spinning hold firmly and apply moderate downward pressure move the router smoothly in a clockwise manner as shown keeping the router adaptor flat against the guide plate avoid abruptly pulling the router or exerting excessive force beginners and those seeking maximum finish quality are recommended to take less than a full hashmark per pass upon completing the first milling pass using depth gauge number 1 you'll now set your end mill depth to the second hash mark using depth gauge number 1 Mill the second pass using the same process and method is outlined before upon completing the second pass adjust the end mill depth to the third hash mark in depth gauge 1 and mill the next pass next adjust to the fourth hash mark and mill the next pass for the final pass using the number 1 short guide pins you'll adjust to the bottom of depth gauge number 1 and mill the final pass before switching for the number 2 guide pins upon milling to the full depth of depth gauge number one with the number 1 short guide pins installed will now switch to the number 2 medium length guide pins using your 760 fourths allen wrench you'll remove the short number 1 guide pins and install the medium length number 2 guide pins in their place reuse the guide pin screws and remember not to over tighten them the second milling process is much like the first except you'll be using the number 2 depth gauge begin by setting the end mill depth to the first hash mark using depth gauge number to allow the guide pins to follow the number 2 guide cavities which this time will be the forward portion of the fire control group pocket excluding the rear shelf area [Music] adjust to the second hash mark and mill the next pass as you mill deeper into the pocket the opportunity for tool chatter increases if you begin to experience tool chatter slowdown and or take shallower depths of cut next you guessed it you'll adjust to the third hash mark and continue milling adjust the end mill depth to the fourth hash mark mill the next pass and then to the bottom of depth gauge number two which will be the final pass with the number two guide pins installed as a helpful tip double check that your router depth lock is functioning properly prior to making the final milling pass if your router depth slips at this point it's likely that you'll inadvertently mill through the bottom of your receiver once you've mailed to the bottom of depth-gauge number two you'll switch to the number three guide pins which are the longest pins remove the number two guide pins and install the long number three guide pins in their place remember not to over tighten the screws to mill the trigger slot begin by setting the end mill depth to the bottom of depth gauge number three as with each time before start the end mill inside the drill hole make sure your number three guide pins are positioned inside the number three trigger slot guides turn the router on and follow the trigger slot guides until the trigger slot has been formed this will only take a matter of seconds [Music] the final step is to drill the selector and pin holes begin by clamping your jig in the vise as shown apply wd-40 and insert the 3/8 drill bit into the large guide hole do not start drilling until the bit is fully inserted apply moderate downward pressure and drill through the right side wall you may continue drilling until the bit exits the left side wall this will form your selector hole on both sides next switch to your 5/32 drill bit and repeat this process for the 2 pin holes if your 5/32 drill bit isn't long enough to reach both sides simply flip the jig over and repeat the same process receivers with spray-on coatings such as seracote and dura coat should be drilled from both sides for maximum finish quality [Music] your lower is now complete to remove your finished lower from the jig simply remove the buffer adapter loosen or completely remove the buffer plate and pull the takedown pin
