Exclamation Anyone willing to start a group buy for AR lowers?

I am not starting a group buy, but rather asking for someone that has an FFL/Gunshop to start one as I think it would be easier for them to get an order of 50 or more lowers at this time due to the whole election thing/possible ban. If anyone would be interested in doing this it would be greatly appreciated as many of us are searching for them and only find backorders, months long wait lists, and idiots trying to take advantage of us due to the present situation (for those of you charging $250-$300 for a lower shame on you ). Even if you want in on a few I guess post it, but definately if someone wants to start it ill be willing to help with anything you may need. Just let me know! Thanks alot!

Put me down for 5!

A lot of group buys have stalled out or been called off completely because with the demand for lowers, none of the manufacturers have a need to discount anything at all. They're almost all sold out just with normal market demand. I think the boat for AR lower group buys has sailed (about 2 months ago).

What he said^^^^I have heard some of the lowers,such as essential arms, will sell them to individuals if you have them shipped to an ffl. As well alot of companies have caught up with some of the demand for lowers. The price is still floating between 130 and 150 for the same lowers you could have picked up three months ago for under a hundred bucks. I am told that bolts and bolt carriers are the real issue when it comes to the shortage of supplies. For now lowers can be picked up for well under 200.

My point exactly, lets try to get an order in now, so when they get here in another 2 months, we wont have to pay at another price level increase. Theyre just gonna keep getting harder to find. I think we should at least try to get what we can now for what they are going for now. I dont know it was just a thought. Maybe ill just search for myself, thought it might be nice if a couple people could get in on it.

I don't know, I don't think lowers are all that hard to find...essential arms, sog, buying off of other people.

Sure...some vendors are backed up a bit, so order your lower, then set off on buying your other parts...before they go up. (if they do)

Get out to the various AR boards and you'll see bunches of new lowers and links to the manufacturers where they are selling lowers from about $130 to $150 on up. You only might have a wait if you have a particular high demand lower in your sights.

I can get sonju lowers at 135.00. shipping to your ffl is 8.00.
Pics and state tax included in the price.
I have no date on the lowers. They are seting up the machines to start production so your looking at about 2 months with machining, inspection and coatings. I have one of there billet lowers and they are awsome. They are a DoD manufacture and have just started to do AR parts
