Sig P320 80% Build Adventure

Gunsmithing 80% Builds
#1

Everyone, I did a P320 80% build. The videos are on my channel but I did a follow-up article on some of the things that came up during the build that doesn’t come across in the videos.

Once again I would like to thank @switchpod for help on how to calculate drill bit speed.

Definitely check out my video. I walk you through the steps including putting in the lower parts. These are way easier than a 1911 build.

Here is the article with all of the tools that I used.

And here is the links to the videos. If you have questions, let me know.

Don’t know how I did it. I uploaded a video and deleted because I grabbed the wrong video (accidentally uploaded the 80% video instead) and they both disappeared.

Oh well. Here is the new link

I liked your instructions. They worked really well. . I only did the safety slot different. used a pointed diamond cutter just the right size to grind out the material between the holes.

Funny, I was considering using a 7144 or 7122 and taking a couple of passes with that but already had the other two bits and decided to use them since I was WAY over budget already and had a crapload of reinforced cut off wheels.

What bit did you use? How well did it cut?

Thanks for watching!
