LPKs available from PSA for the same price as the lowers :P

$99 at PSA gets you a complete lower build kit (classic M4 telescoping stock, A2 grip, mil-spec buffer tube assembly, LPK, firecontrol group, etc)
$139 gets you the same thing, but replace the M4 furniture with Magpul MOE furniture.

My previous build was with the MOE lower build kit from PSA...I think it was on sale for $129 when I bought it though.

ar15sales.com has RRA LPKs for $69 shipped, RRA 2-stage for $89 shipped.

Add the FFL fee and you're getting pretty close to the price of a stripped lower at a gun show.

Don't forget the 11% Federal Excise tax!

I think after shipping, taxes, and transfer (the FFL I use does transfers for $10), they'll end up being $72.50/ea for me. Still a great deal.

If the multiple sales report does reply, most FFLs have no problem letting you pick them up a few days apart.
Does NOT apply to lowers...

No excise tax unless you buy the lower AND the LPK together on the same order.

Ah, OK. I didn't read that wording closely enough. Update that total cost to $66.95/ea, then.

Still a good deal if you get a cheap transfer.

PBratton, thanks for the info from an FFL. Good to hear that lowers do not qualify to get reported :thumbs2:

No sales tax.
And no $8 - $10 entry fee, plus $5 (Ft Worth) parking

Not to mention gas to drive there. But I guess most of us have to drive to our FFL, just maybe not as far.

That gun show lower is getting on up there.

Well, I bought two last time they did this. One has been engraved and is waiting on the tax stamp to come back, it's destined for SBR life. (SBR=Short Barrel Rifle).

These are just too hard to resist though... I may end up with a couple more. May have to schedule a build party.

Thanks for the heads up on these. Looks like I'm building my first AR!
