[ARCHIVED THREAD] - $300 AR thread for Spring! (Page 8 of 23)

Quoted:
Trinity Ordnance sale is complete. Waiting to hear on you fellas who left messages. Shoot me an IM if you would, w/ actual names & phone numbers, and how many you want to order, so I can help Richard square things away. If you didn't leave a voice mail, please don't IM me. We'll move to the next bargain lower: http://www.primaryarms.com/anderson-manufacturing-ar-15-stripped-lower-receiver-ar-15-a3 http://www.primaryarms.com/SSP%20Applications/NetSuite%20Inc.%20-%20SCA%20Mont%20Blanc/Development/img/AR-15-A3_00.jpg Still cheap enough to give away as Christmas presents, and bring new shooters into the fold.

Quoted: I already have a bunch of aluminum lowers. Stop it. xb40 and his buddy here in Tulsa don't weld, so I couldn't hand them a 3 lb Flat Spot lower as we were walking into the show and go,"Here! You said you weld!" and let them carry it around for 3 hours. We do need a supplier of inexpensive LPKs, and stocks, buffer tubes, buffers, & springs, as well as sights. I'm set to buy a couple of Chinese knockoff Magpul rear sights tomorrow for the girls for $20 each. Bugger went and sold them all to his in store customers! How dare he!

Quoted:
I was going to buy 3 along with stripped uppers, handguards, and cerakote jobs, but man, this place is a real pump em and dump em place. They must've been super busy because the guy tried getting me off the phone before I could ask about other products, so I ordered my three and left it at that. I thought about getting 10, but then I thought, WTF am I going to do with 10 polymer lowers? I think you just caught them when they were swamped. |

Quoted:
I giggled. How many unarmed relatives do you have? I'm giving 3 complete ARs to the kids for Christmas, and @ least 1 lower to someone else. xb40 and his buddy here in Tulsa don't weld, so I couldn't hand them a 3 lb Flat Spot lower as we were walking into the show and go,"Here! You said you weld!" and let them carry it around for 3 hours. We do need a supplier of inexpensive LPKs, and stocks, buffer tubes, buffers, & springs, as well as sights. I'm set to buy a couple of Chinese knockoff Magpul rear sights tomorrow for the girls for $20 each. I happen to know that Trinity has a supply of lightly used buffers & springs, so that's what I'll be using on the girls' builds. I'll try to get a quote from him next week I can post in here. |

Ok, just got texts back from Richard, the owner of Trinity Ordnance. Folks waited in line for up to 4 hours today, and some were told they had sold out of lowers to insure those of you who had ordered lowers get them.
It will be @ least Wednesday before they can figure out if they have any left. So folks that left voicemails on Saturday, hang tight, call back on Monday, reference your voicemail on Saturday, and understand you might not get a definitive answer until Thursday. There are remaining lowers beyond what has been ordered, but are functional blems (not cosmetic) - some are missing one or more takedown pins, some are cracked @ the front of the buffer tube, some are cracked on the magwell. Richard will work on sourcing pins for the remaining lowers next week, as GWACS & Cav Manufacturing sell them for $10 a pair. Once pins are in hand, and all existing orders are satisfied, he'll see how he wants to handle the next sale. When I know, I'll announce what I know. Until that time, back to Primary Arms! |

Sent my uncle to pick up 2 of the Sabre lowers for me yesterday - then he called and told me no way he was waiting in that line.
I shoulda called Saturday night, but got pulled away for family stuff. Now I'm kicking myself 
If any of y'all that ordered 5 or 10 are wanting to part with one, shoot me a PM. |

Quoted: I am holding out for $10.00 lowers 
Salad days. Mike Honcho. And while we've got you in GD, I wish you made a drop in free float like Daniel Defense's Omega, but looks more like a pair of the standard KAC RAS rails. |
|
Quoted: Did I miss out on these? We'll know Wed/Thurs if Trinity will accept more orders on Sabre Defense lowers, and what the shipping terms will be. I doubt the shipping will be as generous this time; he was picking up $50 tabs to ship 5 lowers to Alaska. He may have to wait for takedown pins before he can offer some of the remaining lowers. Those of you who receive lowers, please post up pics of em as they arrive, and particularly your builds, expensive or budget. I'm thinking I may do 4 builds for Christmas, mostly budget builds. |

$20 lowers & $200 uppers, yes. We're on $30 lowers & $251 uppers now. We'll know Wed/Thurs if Trinity will accept more orders on Sabre Defense lowers, and what the shipping terms will be.

Shoot I'll spend another $200 if there are $10 lowers... Then I will have 40 lowers. What will I do with 40 lowers? Vote for Chelsea Clinton for President I guess...  Quoted:

Salad days. Mike Honcho. What will I do with 40 lowers? Vote for Chelsea Clinton for President I guess... I was worried about the fixed length, but these are cool and LOP is perfect. I'm going to put my pencil barrel upper on one. |

Quoted:
If you ordered last week, he may have already shipped, but an even chance he's not shipped yours yet. They just opened, so give em a call. Quoted:
Quoted: Think he would hold for an in-store pickup? I'll be in DFW all next week starting Tues for the holiday. |

Quite welcome. Just got back after swinging by.
Saturday afternoon the line to get in was down the block. He sold 200 lowers to folks coming through the door that day. They are still shipping lowers. In some cases, they are waiting for your FFL to snail mail a copy of their FFL, b/c some of you have antediluvian FFLs that don't have email. If you left a voicemail Saturday, follow it up w/ an email: [email protected] Even if he has to go buy the takedown pins, he's got enough lowers to take care of you and will give you the sale price; you do, however, need to hold tight until Thursday. If you didn't call on Saturday, any new requests for lowers are being put on a wait list, and you'll be called when he sorts out how many good lowers are left. He gave me a blem today - it's missing the buttplate, b/c the bottom screw is stripped out. It is somewhat special, however: Attached File |

@SinistralRifleman : do you know the history behind these 1800 lowers? They came out of a connex, apparently from Sabre Defense's bankruptcy. Were any sold to the public before Trinity Ordnance came in possession of them? https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/mobile/product/411536144/redirect There is an old page for lowers for sale at CTD, but no reviews, so not sure if they ever actually sold any: https://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/ar-15-sabre-defense-sr-15-light-sabre-polymer-lower-receiver-gun-115.do From what I remember of saber, they mostly sold complete rifles and uppers. I don't remember stripped sabre lowers being sold. Here is a review for a complete rifle sold: https://www.ar15.com/forums/ar-15/-/118-416085/? |

Some of you guys may be interested in these $209 rifle kits .
I just stumbled across that while looking for something else. That would put you at $229 for a complete rifle with extra parts left over (buffer tube, stock, etc). |

Sheeeeot, I bought a Saber marked Samson star M quad rail last year. Might have to do a full on Thunder Cat build"..........

Ordered last week and they were super friendly... like literally the most pleasant convo I’ve ever had with a gun store employee. I think you just caught them when they were swamped. Quoted:

| Same as the $199 upper. But with out the BCG. I thought I found a BCG and charging handle for $79. That would make it complete for $209. |

If you want something else from their store, they'll be happy to ship and can actually answer the phone - they have 4 lines before it goes to voicemail, and they don't have 8000 customers today. I think they're sold out of most of their sale parts, however. I was going to pick up some of their lightly used buffers, and they sold out of those. |

Quoted:
They held back 200 of the lowers for in store sales. Folks waited up to 4 hours in line - which went down the block, 60 yards away. Apparently they counted 8000 people coming through. They are still shipping lowers this week - they're waiting on a few FFL's who are sending copies of their FFLs via snail mail.

I think they're sold out of most of their sale parts, however. I was going to pick up some of their lightly used buffers, and they sold out of those. The guy on the phone sounded fairly confident there would still be lowers once they got to the waitlist. |
