3m Depending on where you are at, if pvt sales are legal like here in AZ, i posted a ad on backpage.com in sporting goods for pvt sale lowers and got a ton of replys. Sure i paid a little more than retail, but they were all brand new, name brand lowers that were offered.
No more private sales anywhere on the left coast... was just thinking that this will be one of the next things they will go after. Might be smart to invest now.
I finished my second lower build a few weeks ago - one little slip of the hand and my bolt catch detent and spring went flying in the garage. After I cooled down a bit, I went back out and searched a bit more calmly - thankfully I found both and was more careful the second time around. Learned pretty quickly that having spare parts on hand is probably a good idea
Seems like the 80% route is about all that's left to us on the left coast in terms of keeping the government out of our business. I like that not only can you do AR's (15 and 10), but also 1911's, Glock lowers are coming very soon, even 10/22's. Hopefully there are more 80% projects in the works!
Thats why I like AZ. CCW and CC and open carry are all cool. PVT sales are allowed and this is our craigslist of "sporting goods" Arizona - guns for sale: firearms, handguns, rifles - backpage.com
