Mills?

[Leader of Men]

I see all this talk about custom milling, and using mills and such. But I'm not the most nifty of people, so I was wondering if I could get some information/prices stuff like that about mills and how they work.

Thanks.

cnc milling

All the custom milling that shops offer is done on a cnc machine. They are computer controlled. Your looking at between $80,000-250,000 for a mill with a 4th axis. Just spend the 300 bucks and have one of the shops do it for you. It will take you about 5 years before you even have enough skill to mill a gun without screwing it up.


Im a master machinist so i know. I have a mill in my shop at home. 80,000 bucks baby!


hope that helps
