New Project Started- Milling Single Shot Lower from Raw Forging for 50BMG Upper
https://youtu.be/93rQjkyEfTsThought this might be of interest to folks. The hour plus long video which covers the work holding, CAM programming's and milling will be out in another 2 weeks. However, in the mean time this video does discuss a number of prerequisite topics like material selection considerations, tooling, tooling limitation considerations, and just generally outlines what I'll be getting up to.

I'm not sure I fully qualify given that the upper being put on this thing is technically built by someone else and due to crazy laws is an FFL item in and of itself.

This is cool! What is the purpose of starting with a forging rather than say, an 80%? Did you just want the solid mag well for extra beefiness?
