Is @135 to high for a Mega Lower?

Thats a question only you can answer. Looks like thats the going rate, though.

Well... As BB said, that is the going rate. If you're looking at Rainier Arms, remember that they offer free shipping on orders over $50. With the shipping, now you're looking at what? Maybe a $20-25 premium over the cheapest lower you can find?

I bought one for $135. Looks good, too.

$135 is the normal going price - if you can find them! I got mine a few weeks ago from Rainier and paid exactly that (with freee shipping). I am quite satisfied, as I always am, with Mega's quality. Worth the extra $30 or so if you ask me.

I picked up a Mega lower for $109.00 them, weeks later another one for $135.00. Not looking to get any more, but I noticed they had "the deer head"

type for $115.00

Small price to pay for a great lower. I got mine for $90.00 a piece, but that was in Feb. 2006. They aren't going to get any less expensive if you wait.

Get it before it goes to 150.

My recent build, I'd used a Mega lower, another thing, these are multi calibor lowers, also it has the gator, Mega Gator lowers has the grip grooves in front of the mag well.

Very nice finish and all LPK went in smoothly.

I recently bought 2 Mega lowers and uppers. One set was from Rainier. The lower was $135 shipped as mentioned. I feel it was worth every penny, as the Mega receivers are beeeeautiful.

Not to hijack this thread, but what do most of you use for an upper? I was going to get a Mega lower and just put a complete upper on it since I don't have any tools yet for the upper assemblies, but i would really like to get a matching Mega upper.

It's easier to build the upper than it is to build the lower, IMO. All you need is a GI combo wrench, a vise and barrel blocks, some automotive moly grease and a torque wrench. Snap ring pliers help, but just order the ring assembly from the same people you buy the barrel from and ask them to put it on for you.

$135 is the price. Bought one two weeks ago from Rainier Arms. Fit & finish is excellent, and has a nice deep even black color. No tool marks and is the closest thing out there in fit and finish to a billet lower. The VLTOR Mur or Vis looks nice on them and fits well.

I use Mega uppers with my Mega lowers. It was a no-brainer.

I also agree with BB. Uppers are a breeze to assemble, especially since most come with the trap door and forward assist installed. Put in the barrel, tighten it. Done. I run free-floats, so I don't even need delta rings. Anyone can do it with the few tools required!
