Hi guys! Been a while since I posted here....

I am on the olympic peninsula and I am looking for a good stripped lower and possibly one in FDE if one is to be had especially with a matching upper? Any suggestions?

If you are really serious about stripped lowers, then they are no further away than your computer.



Here in Montana, you won't find many lowers in stores.

Not very true, I tried 3 or 4 places yesterday locally but it seems having something transfered in is a pain to the shops... I am looking for someone to say "yeah, I saw FDE lowers at Johns Guns yesterday" and I will drive there and buy one. I am really 2+ hours from just browsing stores and don't really know where to go.

If they have it in stock, should not be any more trouble than buying a gun?

I can say, I was in Washington last month and I did run into a pawn shop that has been good for parts in the past and they had 11 various lowers in stock, but it was in Vancouver.

Is there really no one on the peninsula who does them?  Have you looked online at gunbroker's listing of FFLs?  A place like Rainier Arms is great but you're probably looking at 2.5 hr each way, and I'd happily pay $35 for a transfer to avoid that.  If you're going to order a couple then see if they charge by the item or by the 4473, or if there is some discount for quantity

If you're going to order one, call Mike Daugherty at Daugherty Guns in Port Orchard.  Good guy that will take care of you.

I haven't bought a lower from a local place since the AWB. What you need is a friendly FFL that does inexpensive transfers. Have you tried using the FFL finder on GunBroker? They usually list their fees there, which makes it easy to find a good one. Everyone should have an "FFL guy". Doesn't need to be a shop, some of the best are just kitchen table FFLs. Anyway, once you find your guy, the www has all the receivers you'll ever need.

I generally wait for Brownells to have aero precision gen 2s on sale (usually $64.99) and pick them up 5 at a time, which is usually enough to "last" until the next sale.

...timely. Looks like Brownells has the lower I spoke of above for $59.99 right now. Good time to stock up, especially if you have a free shipping code.
