Very good advice -- thank you. I guess my thought was the upper with rail, charging handle, and bcg was going to run $835. Just making numbers up, if they ran a 20% off sale, that's a $167 savings. If the savings only turned out to be $50 and that determined whether or not I was able to actually get what I want after such a long wait, it would definitively be smart to just buy now.
I was going to buy an upper group with a CHF barrel, but I honestly don't know that I care about whether or not the barrel is hammer forged. They currently have the exact upper group I want with a non-CHF barrel in stock.
Will the non-CHF barrel go out of stock and I'll be totally screwed if I don't buy now? Will the CHF barrels come back in stock soon? Will there be sales next weekend that I could have saved a ton of money on and regret buying now? LOL so many questions bouncing around in my head, just not sure what decision to make! I think the only variable that could really help me decide is knowing whether or not BCM typically runs these types of 4th of July sales on their upper groups that would make it worth the risk to wait. If they don't, I might just go ahead and buy the non-hammer forged group now.
