Eastern PA source for AR lowers?

[Dave in PA]

I just got my first AR15 and in researching it, I have found lots of info on building them too. For some reason, building my own appeals to me. I would rather buy a lower from a PA FFL dealer. Otherwise I am looking for a FFL holder that can accept a reciever (or two, they're cheap!) and transfer them to me. I am between Easton and Stroudsburg.

Thanks, Dave

I would just find every gun shop in the area that you are willing to drive and call them up and ask them if they have any AR15 lowers. That's what I did. It wasn't very easy for me and I was about to give up and have one special ordered. I finally found one at Enck's Gun Barn in Newmanstown, however, I think that is a little far from where you are.

I'll be darned if I can remember who, or the name of the shop, but there was someone who joined not too long ago who has a shop on 209 SE of 33. Now if I can only get my brain to function again...

ETA: I must have had really fat fingers last night, the shop that I was talking about is on 209 SW of 33... sorry

Any FFL dealer can get receive the AR lowers...I'd advise to shop around because they tend to charge different transfer fees. I've paid from $10-20...I've seen it as high as $70 to transfer, so shop around...because most shops will also charge you per lower.

To be honest...it's not difficult to build on a strip lower, but why not save the time and just buy the complete lower? The DIY aspect might be appealing, but it's not a big deal....you won't be saving any money doing it yourself...just get to learn about the rifle parts.

Even a complete lower will have to be transferred...... the closest shop to me charges $50 per transfer.

A little steep for a transfer. I'd look around for someone else.

Might not be close by but could be worth the trip.

That is robbery. You should be able to find someone that will do it for $15-$20. The PA background check is usually like $5. $50 is outrageous.

I've never bought from him, just didn't have what I was looking for at the time, but Dave's a really good guy. I spent about an hour talking to him the last time I was in his shop.
