"The price will be $78 each IF we can sell 50 lowers and the price will drop again at 100 lowers."

It seems they went well over the 100 mark, but I seemed to have missed what the new price is. Do you know?

They had a price increase at double star so as I'm reading it, it's still $78 + shipping & insurance. I didn't go all the way through but it looks like there are over 500 ordered so far. $78 is still a very good price.

I "had" about 3 places bookmarked that had good prices on bare receivers but they are all out of stock. Same thing with upper parts(lots more bookmarks but all the same story), though that's limited mostly to bolts and carriers. I'm glad I got mine built before the rush and I had to do quite a bit of shopping to get the 16" 1/7" chrome lined barrel even then.

Still wish I'd had bought about 6 generic car kits and put them together to sell. I could have netted a nice 1893. Quite the feeding frenzy.

I just bought a couple stripped lowers locally for $120.00 each. Wish I would have caught this thread before hand.
