I bought a 10.5" upper a few weeks ago. My plan is to get a stripped lower and their lower kit with the shockwave brace, but it has been out of stock for a while. I was watching the lower build kits for a short time before buying the upper and was in stock. Guess I'm in the same boat with OP.

AR15 Pistols have become very popular lately because of arm braces basically becoming (more useful) than stocks. Everyone seems to be wanting pistols and specifically PSA because of the high quality at a lower price. You may need to devote time to checking their site hourly in hopes of getting what you want

And now the $450 kits are still plentiful and have been all week....as the ONLY kit never out of stock. |

Doing about the same...waiting for a complete with a shockwave, but may just buy an upper now and wait. If I buy a complete lower-pistol with tube, will a shockwave brace fit, or do I need to buy the shockwave tube? Quote HistoryQuoted:

My experience was just the opposite. I jumped on the pistol upper package weekend special, figuring it may sell out any second and never be available again. They ended up extending the special all through the next week, and then the week following without free shipping.

After the ATF(who brought chips?) reversed the ruling on touching the brace to yoru shoulder, pistol kits became the new hot item. You think finding an AR pistol is tough, remember the Yugo M85/M92 pistols? I was one of the lucky ones that round.

You think finding an AR pistol is tough, remember the Yugo M85/M92 pistols? I was one of the lucky ones that round. The C93 pistol (HK53 clone) was a gun I wanted when they came out and it was impossible to find at a reasonable price for the longest time. I happened to be looking on JG sales a few years back and they popped up at $420 with 2-40 round mags and free shipping. At the time they were at least $600 anywhere else with either 1 mag or no mags and never in stock. I was real lucky on that one as they go for around $1000 now that they stopped production  .
I have always wondered if someone messed up the pricing when they listed them that day. |

At this point I'm thinking I might look into a 10.5" upper (either from PSA or elsewhere) so long as it has a delta ring. Then I can buy a MOE handguard and small section of rail for a light and grab a $60 BCG next time PSA offers them....shop around for a cheap buffer kit, LPK and charging handle. Hopefully I can find everything under $400 shipped....we shall see. |

I got an email from PSA yesterday, but some type of sick teaser...I got on site within minutes and it was gone!
What's the word on another source GHOST Firearms (ghostrifles.com)...if anyone has had any experience good or bad? |

On PSA...their email alert is useless....emails get sent 12-24hrs AFTER the item is listed as in-stock. PSA does not care to fix it as I've already mentioned it to them multiple times. |

Quote HistoryI did end up buying that before you replied. I'm shocked to see they are still in stock!!
But I ordered the upper, bcg, lpk/buffer kit and shipped it was all $325. All I need at this point is a rear MBUS which I can cannibalize from another AR if need be. Still thinking about emailing the ATF to see if plasti-dipping/flex-sealing/foam coating a Shockwave blade is ok to do. Other than that, I might just get a padded end-cap for the buffer tube and it'll be good to go. ...still haven't received a shipping notice |

I ordered the 10.5 w/ front sight base as well, and a lower this morning
I thought about ordering from Daytona tactical and/or ghost rifles but couldn’t find much about them I’ll put this together, then step back and see if it cures the gun bug for a while. Now looking for a shockwave blade, but probably have what, a few weeks before parts start arriving? |

Just got a notice that psa shipped my lower...collecting other parts now. Found a shockwave on the egay for 17 but overseas address and within seconds both auctions stopped, but found another for 30 with free shipping. I’ve got the BCG and CH enroute from Toms tactical. Looking for a rear bus and something for an optic
