DIY AR-15 Lower Receiver tutorial
VaderSpade posted a very nifty tutorial on how to machine a AR-15 lower receiver.
You won't save money making your own. You need a mill machine, which second hand will cost about $900, and Tactical Machining's 80% Master Kit jig which sells for $410.

$410 is for both the ar-15 AND ar-10 kits.
If you just want to make an ar-15 it’s only $195.
Still not very cost effective unless you’re doing huge batches but then again saving money really isn’t the point.
you won’t make any money if you only make one…
You don’t need the $410 kit.
For this project the $150 kit will do.
Or order the same kit with an 80% lower for $195
Now that’s a deal!
And you can do all this on a chinese minimill just as well
John, I don’t think you are allowed to make them for sale. The BATFE would not like that!
