Does anyone have any experience with building 80% from a kit? I'm interested in the concept but wanted to know how well they work in practical terms? How hard are these things to actually build?

In particular, does anyone have experience with Ceratac?

Lots of Chinese knockoff parts and probably bear Creek barrels.

I've looked into this in the past. 5D Tactical is by far the most recommended jig out there, and is often the only one recommended.
