I know we've all been pretty used to these $30-$40 Anderson lowers, they're been cheap and they still are cheap.  But I have a strong feeling that they won't stay that way.  So go buy a couple.  I just got a few more and they came out to $41.50 before the FFL fee.  That is all.

So what happens when the panic hits hard and you can't find the parts to complete those builds?   I would be sure to also get the uppers/parts to complete them just in case.

Meh, all the other parts are just as important. What the hell good am I going to do with MORE lowers when there are a bunch already sitting in the safe...I just need barrels and gas blocks to complete more builds than I can count on one hand

Oh yeah...PANIC THREAD!!

Lowers with out uppers, FCG's and BCG's are just paper weights. I am investing my money in the things all the lower hoarders will need to build a real gun.

Same.  Tried several times.  I don't want it engraved. Factory roll mark.

Eta... I know they are available now.  10-15 years ago they were hard to find.

And then the requisite number of mags per completed rifle /  carbine.

And optics.

and ammo.

I've got a couple blem PSA lowers on order. I have no idea what I want to do with them, but I figure, fuck it, it's an election year, and I can always flip them for a profit if it comes to it. I've got 3 AR's set up just how I want them.

You probably also want to pick up some 1/4"-28tpi 3/4" long grip screws too.
I have three Anderson lowers where they didn't tap the last .25" for some unknown fucking reason. I don't think i'll be buying any more Anderson lowers if I have to use non standard parts to make them work.

BCG's were also specifically named as a part being banned from manufacture/sale in that thread the other day.  The anti's are getting smarter about what makes guns tick.
