That's one heck of a deal. I wish I got that kind of deal when I built mine.
-
Lowers are everywhere for $49. As the dealer at a show told me, we are reaching AR saturation.
Now if I could get a complete upper for <$300.

Definitely are. That's a heck of price (We've got Andersens for a bit more, but $50 is approaching employee purchase cost...). There are cheap upper deals to be had as well...

And many more deals.
I've been looking for a 10/22 action, to build a custom job. I've already got the threaded, bull barrel and the thumbhole stock. I was going to start canvassing pawn shops for a junker, but for $179 new...
I may be warming up the charge card this weekend.

Alf... look at the KAK web site before you buy any receiver extensions for your Sig Brace...their early one puts my nose to charging handle, just like I wanted...and think about a linear comp like a Levang ....
the low cost $1 option is on top (before the SigBrace came out)

I ordered 3 of the Bushmaster lowers from Aim Surplus to be delivered to my local Gun Shop for $149.85 total. My transfer fee will either be $10.00 per lower or for all three depending on how they process it, my CHL rather then a background check and three 4473 forms or all three on one form.
This is a hedge against future Legislation because currently owned guns may be grandfathered if our opponents get more bad laws passed. Or I could build an AR pistol with SIg Brace and 7.5 inch barrel if the price of the parts fall to a price I am willing to pay.
