If your patient and astute, you can get a very nice seekins lower for $130. Or if you just wait 3 more months lowers will be $90 again. I refuse to pay $200 for a lower. Just come in here and check on this thread in the mornings between 9:00-11:00 AM thats when most shit gets put up. but check it periodically through the day youll get a deal eventually. Took me about a week to finally get a smokin deal on the $130 seekins lower. (smokin for todays market) 100% agree. DSGARMS is where the $130 Seekins deal usually happens. You can input your email and they will notify you when they come back in stock. That's how I got the 2 I ordered this week. That's how a get a Seekins a couple days ago from DSG. Their email notification is quick, I got the email while on the shitter. Finished up and still got the order in!  i didn't pull the pin on the DSG seekins deal and had one in the cart twice. i am looking for a gopd .308 lower and didn't want to get another lower. if they come back i'm sure i won't be able to hold off a second time. on that note anyone know what a good .308 lower went for pre panic? You can still get in on the .308 lower from Shadow Ops pre-order. They only have 40 slots left though. They will ship by April according to the site. They are really good about keeping things posted on their Facebook page. i have that page open in a tab on my computer. i like the look of it but have been kinda stalking it. i have some time on that one so i keep watching it. anyone know any good or bad about the shadow pops? |

My experience with back orders is this. If the order was 30 days or more ago. They need to call you to get the back 3 digits of your card again. To re-authorize your card. That was my experience with my Mega Maten 308 yesterday. |

Last place for YHM was JoeBobOutfitters. I snagged one and it is NICE. Great finish. I snagged a Seekins from Rainiers the same or next day and it's finish is so so...........has some blemishes on it. I would jump on another YHM w/o hesitation. |

I just got a Seekins lower from Rainier arms. Dont rely on their email notification, they will be sold out by the time you get there. Use a page moniter on your chrome browser. They have been going in and out of stock today so stay on it and you could get lucky!

Good observation. I noticed their "Zombie lower" is still at $135 though. I wonder if there is any difference in the lowers besides roll marks. |

Quick question on the Seekins billets: How does the ambi work? Do you need a special parts kit? Will my CMMG LPK work in it, basically, is the question.....

Quoted: Quick question on the Seekins billets: How does the ambi work? Do you need a special parts kit? Will my CMMG LPK work in it, basically, is the question..... It comes with it's own ambi bolt catch. It's pretty cleverly done. The rest of your LPK will work fine on the Seekins Billet kit, but you'll need to trim one of the springs. Edit to add: You can also use an aftermarket extended bolt catch like I did on my Seekins - This one is a Phase 5. The stock ambi feature still works, as well as the Phase 5  |

This is my first post, and thanks to everyone for the information.
To anyone who does not mind having the "pistol" on their lower, JSE just shipped my Mega lower today. I ordered it yesterday. It states that it is out of stock on their website, but I just followed the examples given by some of the other posts in the locked thread.. It should be in Alaska by the middle of next week.. |
