Went in to look for a 37mm Havoc, and a Double Star lower today...
Price marked on the rail-mounted Havoc was $389 
Bushmaster lowers... $189 Spikes lowers.... $169 DPMS was $124 when I walked in... $179 when I walked out. These guys were also selling knock-offs as legit optics at the last Houston gun show |

The local black rifle store has been selling stripped lowers for $275 all along.
They also reliably price accessories for 200 to 300% above the "going rate". I suspect that they now are selling used AR magazines for $75....

I was playing with a Bushy carbine at Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday. I'm going to go get it tonight... it'd better not have some kind of "election surcharge" tacked onto it tonight.

I've driven by SOG a couple times but have never been in their shop. I bought two doublestar lowers from them at a show (4 or 5 months ago) for about $100 each, maybe $110, I can't remember. They seemed nice and helpful, but most of their other stuff was pretty over-priced, IMO. I mostly bought the lowers from them to try and support the local black rifle store (aside from just needing the lowers).
After reading this thread though I am getting a negative vibe about these guys... Have a lot of people had negative dealings with them?

i dont know what prices you saw there, i just came back from there earlier and i purchased a stripped SOG lower for $125. doublestar was 105, rock river 159, stag 130, pof 225, and bushy 179. i admit bushy was a little high, but the prices seem lower than the gouging that i have read about here today.

I picked up some RRA lowers for $159
In 2004 i got 7 RRA lowers @$110 each. I guess some prices go up, those that don't prepare pay more. FREE |

The guy that has the mustache that is always running the table at the gun show is a complete asshole.

i'm going to go back and see if i can get my LE/FF discount on the old price (matching Spike's website). They said 10% off anything not a firearm or ammunition. I was ready for that instant-gratification until these assholes at the store and Spikes corporate

For years, they have knowingly sold corrosive ammo as "non-corrosive". They don't care. Why people support this behavior by continuing to do business with them is beyond me. |

Quit yer bitchin'.
Those are the same prices we've had in California for the past 3 years. Demand drives the price. |

if this is the same SOG thats on the south belt in houston; i went in there once and was immediately offended by their attitude and overall snobbish practices.
i have since left as many people around me know that they should not shop here. when i went in there about 6 months ago or so; they had a stag 5.56 M4 flat top upper for around 700. so let me get this straight, its ok to gouge after the elections but not after a hurricane! |
