I feel like an old man talking about how things were cheaper when...
This is no slam against PSA, just how the market is right now. PSA currently has 16" M41A upper in stock for $499.95. No BCG, Charging handle. Wayback last year http://bit.ly/YaZSt4 on March 9th, same config was available for $389.95. To add a BCG was $80, charging handle add 17.95 Screw stocks, why didn't I stock up on BCGs?

Quoted:
So PSA uppers are now more expensive than BCM and LMT uppers? Pretty much. I wouldn't exactly say 'more expensive' but comparing similar CHF uppers from PSA and BCM there only seems to be about a $30 difference in the list price. And before people say "well BCM isn't getting uppers in", you're wrong. |

And what's the difference between a PSA uppper that is...*ahem*..."in stock" and will take a month to get to you vs. a BCM upper that won't be in stock for a month but when it is it will get to you in 2 days? |

About $30, a better upper and a much better chance of receiving the correct order. |

what were the lowers usually? I know at one point they were going for around $50 a pop and now the regular forged lowers are $119? Still not terrible for a forged lower but its crazy to think how much prices have jumped in the last year. Your right.. 79.was the normal price for a long time.. 50 was sale a year and 3 months ago, adn now 119. Same for uppers .. picked up a stripped one of them for 70 2 days ago.. now, that was a blem.. not normal stripped.. no telling where they'll go. Just look at the EE or GB.. prices are insane. |
