Quote HistoryQuoted: Ordered 6/11. Shipped 6/16. Arriving 6/22. Was supposed to arrive today but USPS is a mess right now. All the bits and pieces are waiting. Just need to decide if I want to use my chopped carry handle rear sight or the Troy folding battle sight... The cut carry handle. I got several of the Colt carry handles from the member that’s been selling them for $45, and cut most of them down. Makes the perfect RBUIS if you are co witnessing. |

Don’t get mad because people think it’s ridiculous to buy up a bunch of barrels at retail just to resell a week or two later at 50%+ the cost (especially BSing on the listing about how you just had change of plans with the barrel just to post 3 more after the first one sells). It’s price gouging and one of the reasons prices are the way they are. There’s more respectable and even easier ways to make some money. I mean, do what you have to do, but it looks bad. I really didn’t think you bought 30 anyways. Figured you were trolling since we called you out in the Remington thread. |

It’s price gouging and one of the reasons prices at the way they are. There’s more respectable and even easier ways to make some money. That's why I directed it at both of you. I'm confused though, you posted a thread for a link, for members to buy barrels, but then complained about members here buying barrels. Irony. I'm also confused about something else. Is it also ridiculous if I bought real estate, that say developed 50k in equity over a month or year (time makes no difference), then proceeded to flip or sell the real estate in order to receive the profit? Or is selling with the market considered price gouging too? Considering you don't know the price point at which I purchased or sold the 3 or 4 barrels I listed I'd venture to say you're reaching with your opinion of me price gouging anything. The market dictates the price things will sell and sit for, I can only set a price when I list something in the EE. Also I do appreciate your conjecture but I didn't BS on my listing. For those barrels I had listed, I did indeed have a change of plans. The FSBs were all slightly canted on that batch except the last one which was a leftover that didn't get built up into a rifle for a customer that backed out. For your piece of mind I haven't listed, nor do I plan on listing these barrels at any time ever, as the reason for such a large order was not to flip and "price gouge" members as you have accused me of doing; not that it would be any of your business what I decide to do with them. However if I do have any left from this batch I'll make it known on this thread, for members in the thread to have first dibs on them, at cost + shipping & insurance. |

It’s buying several just to sell them in the EE for 50%+ over cost a week or two later that I complained about. The real estate example isn’t even close. This would be more like someone buying a house worth $80k, not doing a thing to it, and then listing it a week later for $130k. See the difference yet? You have the freedom to capitalize. I’m not arguing otherwise, but some business practices are shady, or lazy at best. It screws up prices for the rest of us, just as someone listing an $80k house for $130k a week after buying it and finding a sucker that will pay it could affect the prices of other homes in the area. I think we can all agree that it’s BS when companies price gouge over night due to panic. No difference. |

You're buying up extra stock that other fellow or new gun owners could buy just to resell it to them for 50% more. It's well within their right, but it's a dirt bag move IMHO. The fact that they STOLE your pics is further proof of lack of morals and how much of a dirt bag they are... Of course they'll try and rationalize it all in their heads to make them feel better about themselves, but that doesn't change the fact that they're pieces of crap... This is Prax by the way... |

But on a note mine went together fine and pins where easier to remove but not too easy, and seem to be holding well once reinstalled after RIS rail. About to do pin and weld but may opt to go test on a SBR lower first. EDIT: sites back up |
