Elite Builder 80% Lower Jig (AR-10/.308)
Price range: $149.99 through $264.99
Description
The popular, affordable Elite Builder 80% Jig has been reconfigured to serve the ever-growing .308 AR market: Re-tooled to accept the DPMS-patterned LR-308 80% lowers, the Elite Builder Jig allows any shooter to part together an accurate, custom .308 rifle from scratch without breaking the bank.
You can also now choose to include the enhanced drill plate to further make it easier for you to drill and hollow out your fire control group pocket.
PLEASE NOTE: Tooling and Enhanced Drill Plate are optional. You’ll need to select whether you would like accompanying tooling and plate with your jig.
Quality HSS-Tungsten Bits
The jig’s just half the equation — the bits you cut and drill your receiver with matter just as much. So, Elite Builder came up with some high-quality HSS (high-speed steel) bits. These tungsten-reinforced bits provide superior accuracy and resistance against wear, allowing you to complete any forged or billet lower with confidence. Choose the option to add them onto your jig to ensure the most accurate milling and drilling possible. The tool kit includes:
- (1) 3/8 Drill Bit – 5”
- (1) 5/32 Drill Bit – 3”
- (1) 3/8 Short End Mill – 3”
- (1) 5/16 Short End Mill – 4”
- (1) 3/8 Long End Mill – 4”
Jig Features & Specs:
- Compatible with any DPMS (LR-308) 80% lower
- Self-aligning jig requires no special fitting during setup
- Black anodized finish protects against rust and corrosion
- Pre-drilled holes for hammer, trigger, and safety pin holes
- Reinforced steel template plates for completing multiple lowers
*Important – This jig was designed with a drill press in mind for completing your 80% lower and is not designed to be used with a router/laminate trimmer.

Joseph Gray –
The lower 308 jig is well made and worked nicely. ?
Anthony Rust –
The jig worked well. I had to machine the jig a bit to fit my brand of receivers. But not receivers are machined to the same specs.I machined three receivers successfully using a drill press. Using a drill press works but you need to take your time and cut only about .050″ per pass with the end mills. I used the enhanced drill plate for one receiver, the 3/8″ drill plate for the next and no drilling on the third one. I found the drilling to cause more vibration when milling than when milling an undrilled receiver. The third receiver I did with no drilling and milled the entire cavity with the short end mill. Remember to mill with the first template to 1-3/8″ deep and change plates for the 2″ depth! I used the same shorter end mill so I didn’t have the flutes cutting on the jig. Worked great!
