I'm embarrassed to say that I got suckered in to buying a Ardel Eng. lower receiver for $500 bones by my local shop.... STRIPPED!
With all this "gun control" talk,
I haven't heard one politician say how they plan to take gun from criminals,
just law abiding citizens.

Just picked up the ATI Omni lower from Palmetto State from the FFL... for a $49.95, the piece of plastic looks quite nice. And if Feinstein gets her way, I may get to sell it back to the Govermint for at least $200! :lol:

Now waiting for the lower parts to start the build!

I intended to buy one of those poly lowers for my Chiappa .22 upper. Too late now!

try Essential Arms. No price increase. If I were shopping, I'd place an order and have them hold a backorder, lock in the price and ship when they can.
I've used their lowers, good stuff, good company.

Sorry, it's been a while since I've bought from them.
IIRC you have to call them or FAX them.

ETA: I just called them. Voicemail message "Mailbox is full"
This is an old company that has been in business for decades making receivers for many brand-name guns.

I'd try calling them in the morning, or possibly fax them an order with your phone number to get a credit card number. Include your FFL info so they know you're serious.

I don't think you could ever order online, phone or FAX only
