[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What's your ratio of AR uppers to AR lowers? (Page 3 of 3)

1:1 with the exception of a complete upper thanks to the LaRue Barrel a day give-a-way. I need to order a lower so I can keep the Andersons in the safe for the kids when they grow up.

I guess I could say it would be a 3:1 ratio however as I have a spare lower I also have two stripped uppers.

I was 1:1 until I assembled a new upper last night.

1:1

But I can always make more lowers

1:1

Except for one stripped SBRd lower. It is taunting me, I can hear it now trying to get out of the safe.

I actually don't know how many lowers I have squirreled away. Probably 10-15 stripped lowers and lowers without uppers. I think 5 complete guns. So probably 3:1 or 4:1.

Spare uppers, or lowers always seem to taunt me until they are made into complete weapons. It got so bad that I had to get rid of my rather large spare parts inventory, because as many people here know, if you have an extra buffer, stock, or gas block laying round, they MUST be turned into a rifle.

I decided that having spare parts around just ended up costing me money.

5 lowers, 6 uppers between me and my housemate. Haven't had the urge to build a lower for the 6th upper. Pushing two pins is easy enough.

Each rifle lower has an upper.
The pistol lower has three with the barrel for a fourth is part of a group buy on another 6.5 Grendel concentric site.
May get a CavArms lower to SBR to spread out the >16.5' upper ratio.

1:1

I am constantly expanding my collection of AR's.
When I finish CNC-machining a batch of 80% lowers and get them back from cerakote, I busy myself with assembling them and ordering uppers/bcg's/charging handles.
So my ratio of lowers to completed rifles constantly changes.
It also depends upon the mood I am in and what I want to work on.
Could be 5.56 lowers, 9mm or .45acp lowers, DPMS or Armalite AR-10 pattern lowers.
Might not even be AR lowers either.
Lately I have been completing a few 80% Ruger 10/22 receivers, 80% SIG P228 frames from Matrix Precision, Glock 17 and 19 style frames from Polymer80, or 80% 1911 frames/kits from 1911 Builders.
I received a batch of four 2011 high-capacity STI-compatible stainless frames from Limited10.com that I intend to start very soon as well.
Just stuff that I like to do.
We all have our hobbies.

Almost 1:1 except for a second upper to switch out on my SBR, too damn lazy to file another tax stamp after 41F.

Maybe after Silencer Shop figures out form 1 with their system I will get back to NFA stuff, maybe.
