Re: 80% lowers?
i have been thinking about getting some 80% lower but i have to get them at least 50 at a time.
if there was interest in a group buy i might be able to make it happen.

Re: 80% lowers?
Sorry to throw the thread off track a little bit I am curious as to why people would even consider 80% lowers?
The ones iv seen are usually $60-$100 (including the ones in the link above)
but u can buy new complete forged non blem lowers from $49- and up so why get something incomplete that needs machine work to be properly finished?
Is there some advantage i'm missing?When unholstering your sidearm it is customary to say: "Excuse me while i whip this out"

Re: 80% lowers?
The cost of FFL transfer.
In all honesty an 80% lower is not near as cost effective as just buying a finished lower. Especially if you do it right and send the finished 80% off for hard anodizing like I do.
What the 80% gives you is a clean slate with no roll marks, engraving and other crap. Make it how you want, flare the magwell more, make some changes as you like. I want to pick up some raw forgings sometime and do all the machine work myself.(and make tight takedown pin holes) Its a hobby.

Re: 80% lowers?
Yeah 'cause there's no value in owning a lower that has no serial number and is not associated with your name on any .GOV paperwork..
