can anyone point me in the direction of an ar-15 lower. I'm not concerned with the brand as log as it takes mil spec.

seems like most places are out of stock.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

Check out the I Should Have Bought One Two Weeks Ago store. They have plenty.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

You can find them you just have to be willing to pay the high prices. Gun Broker has now become the "oh I wish I bought before this" site and there are lowers on there for interesting prices. Go to Gun Broker and type in AR lower into the search function and you will see all kinds of lowers for sale.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

There are lowers for sale out the @$$ all over the place...but as you astutely observed...many "retailers" are out of stock and have no reasonable idea when they'll be back in stock (if ever)!! Get on the PX here on the Hide, BARFCOM EE, GunBroker, etc. You can't blink without running into a lower for sale...just be prepared for the price tags when you find one you want.

Since you seem to be one of the many, MANY thousands of folks who just "gotta have any AR-15 lower receiver RIGHT NOW!!!," then I suggest heading to GunBroker, sorting the auctions for AR lowers by "Buy-it-Now," locating the cheapest lower available, and buying it. Done and done.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

GunBroker: Be prepared to pay $475-$550 for a brand name lower. I have seen some "second tier" lowers go for around $300 over the last 36 hours. All this could change with the next news story.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

This whole thing is freakin nutz! I just looked on Gunbroker and the blackout that I finished building at the end of November is going for triple what I have in it. HAHA And then I look up my RRA Lar-8

! $3000???? You have got to be kidding me! Oh if I could have seen this coming LOL
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

Same here. I assembled a Spikes Tactical last year, have maybe $750 in it. Gunbroker has a few exactly like mine going for three times that.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

That ar15.com link isn't much better. How many times can you say "rare" in in a WTS ad?
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

It's amazing to think that I could actually sell 2 or 3 of my AR's now and buy a ridiculously nice custom bolt gun from one of the HIDE sponsors......wait a minute, that's a good idea.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

Look on Calguns.com there is usually a few for somewhat regular prices
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

buy an 80% and finish it off yourself

Second post of the thread. They have a layaway plan.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

nobody has some secret websites they have tucked away that they can PM me?
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

There are no "secret" websites. Just go on the above websites and buy a lower if you want one. I've been watching them for quite some while and the prices are what they are. If you don't want to pay the price, just wait it out.

Personally I think its highly unlikely that they are going to completely outlaw AR-15's. Another AW ban, maybe but that isn't going to restrict stripped lowers. Buy a couple lower parts kits and your good to go. Lets first pass a budget and get over this whole fiscal cliff bullshit then we will talk about the gun laws. But at the rate congress is working, they might ban AW's by the end of 2013.

Super secret website sent via pm...

Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

Wow, they were back on line for a little over 24 hours before they shut back down! I placed a fairly big order from them yesterday, I'm interested to see when I get it.

4-6 weeks or months?
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

I sold a Rock River LAR-8A4 and a DPMS 308 upper on Gunbroker. I set the opening bid reasonable and they sold for enough to pay off my DTA that is on order. God love people that procrastinate and have money.

I would wait it out or find somewhere that will let you back order one for a reasonable price. If you gotta have it now pay the price.

Perhaps someone may soon offer a nice A.I. rifle, for a generic home-built AR

A shopper in panic will want to make this trade ! Seems like a good deal.

Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

Lowers at a fair price? Good luck!

But if Essential Arms has some left. You have to CALL! Keep trying and the limit is 10 lowers.

Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

There are 3 listed in the for sale area, well make that two I just bought one.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

Try these guys $139 plus $7.50 shipping.
Code Red Firearms
Ordered one from them a few days ago. There's a thread over on AR-15.com about them and the owner has chimed in. Looks like they're in the process of taking over the old Detroit Gun Works tooling, who by all accounts were GTG. Roll mark looks cool too.

Unfortunately in today's climate we can't be choosy. I just wish some of the guys that are buying 6,8,10 lowers at time along with thousands of rounds of ammo would knock it back a notch and leave some stuff for the rest of us. Some of us couldn't stock up before the madness because of Christmas and are just just now getting enough extra cash to try and buy some stuff.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

Whittaker Guns in Kentucky got 50 lowers in on Sunday. I don't remember the maker of them.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

I just bit the bullet and bought a stripped YHM lower off of gun broker. The price was stupid high, but I don't care. I would rather pay the price than be stuck with 1.5 AR's sitting in my safe if the AW ban goes through. I didn't want to be stuck with just 1 lower and 2 uppers. Its just playing the odds and I was willing to pay to play.

Edit note: I am also being stupid and wanting a YHM lower. I could have found other brands cheaper but I "just had to have" a yhm lower.
 
Re: can't find ar15 lower for life if me.

I just bought one from Code Red Firearms. Thanks Pilot for the link.
