The 80% that I did was already threaded for the buffer tube, after anodizing, the buffer tube threaded in with no trouble.

I would note that my anodizing is not as good as the genuine mil spec anodizing, but it's close. I did the acid bath anodizing with a proper aluminum alloy anode and black anodizing dye, it's as good of an anodize job as you can get without a cooled anodizing system.

Mine was not done to save money, which I did not, but was done to have a custom lower.
