AR Lower?
I found a new DPMS complete lower assembly with adjustable stock for $205.00. Around $245.00 after shipping and FFL fee. Good deal?

I paid about $270 for a LMT (Defender 2000) lower with adjustable stock and ambi safety, here locally. Tax :barf: pushed it close to $300.

Yeah, it's close. I got a stripped lower, stock and innards for under $200.00 altogether, but only by a buck. I just happened to luck in on sales and a place that had a stripped lower for $99.00. That cost me $101.00 delivered and another $10.00 for the transfer. Stock was $42.00 and the innards for 46.00.
DPMS is supposed to be a good make. By the way, get it while you can. Have fun finding an upper. The Doc is out now.

If they have it in stock that is not a bad price, especially given the recent shortages.
I paid $230 in person (plus $10 NICS fee) about a year ago for a DPMS complete carbine lower. Not a bargain then but fair enough for the convenience (here and now) of a stocking gun show dealer. |

Try www.essentialarms.com for great lowers at a great price. I built on one and like it.

Jump on stripped lowers if you can. The new administration will likely look at the assault weapon ban very soon.

I'd say it's a decent deal. Not an outstanding deal, but decent.

Stripped lower price < complete lower price
DUH! I can also buy a trigger group for less than a stripped lower. So what? Maybe the OP wants a complete lower. |

Lowers are gone, there is about a 3 to 6 month wait at this time.

Thought I was getting 6 Stag lowers. My supplier e-mailed me today and told me that he's only able to give each of his customers 3 lowers, and that, in fact, the supply is drying up.
