After looking at the number of people at the firearms counter at Academy today, I stopped by my LGS... AR's are flying out the window. Browsed the 'net for places to get a stripped lower and seems like a lot of the vendors don't have them in stock. So, found an ATI polymer from Palmetto and placed an order. It's not exactly what I had in mind, I would have preferred something made out of metal, but it's the only thing I could find so far.
I don't know much about build AR's, but I figure my next purchase is a few dozen of those evil
30-round magazines before they disappear from the shelves too... then I'll look to complete the lower. This should be a fun project, except I'm jumping in at the wrong time.With Christmas coming, I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on a fully assembled AR, but I want to have the option of having one at some point.
I figure for $39.99 each, they are worth the risk, so I got two. One will be a .22 build and the other will likely be .223. Anything higher than that would concern me...my concerns may be unfounded, but I can always buy another upper later on!
