Anyone here going to be ordering one? They are pretty cool.  |

Better hurry. I'd say that there are less than fifty of the first batch left.

The finish on them is excellent. In my pic it has lint on it from oiling it. M4Madness is likely right and they wont last long and I dont think they have determined how many more will be made. I know there is a 2nd batch, but who really knows how many there will be. |

I agree not everyone will want one, but they are neat. Here is some info that was posted by Goatboy. INFORMATION Yes, we have a manufacturing license and this is the first product we are releasing. Our goals are not world domination, so don't get too excited, we just wanted to create a small (high quality) collectible item for the community who has been a family to us and to each other. This was something people wanted and it took us years to get everything in line and make it a reality. The price is a little higher than other lowers you can find, the reason for that is we had a choice to have them made local or at a machine shop with a ton of experience. Since we're talking hundreds versus thousands of lowers and calling in a favor or two to get machine time, that helped set the price. ($155+$10 shipping for those who have been asking.) The way we look at is simple, a lower is a lower. The only exception to that is if you go with a new shop with no experience, you risk the initial lowers having potential problems while the company grows into a comfort level. Hopefully that answers the majority of questions. Again, we are not here to make thousands of lowers and try to dominate an already great market, we want to offer you guys a chance to have something a little special. One of the "perks" of being a lifetime member is early access to special projects like this as well as providing input for these projects. At this time we have opened sales to Moderators (see mod global forum) and will have these available to everyone next week. As we run out of inventory we will either stop orders or allow for orders to continue as "pre-orders" on incoming lowers. At this time we are also offering ONLY stripped to allow you to build them up how you wish. We have plans to include these into upcoming SEBR projects and possibly offer them as complete lowers. |

Kinda cool, but I wouldn't rely on any collectability outside of this site. Most likely deminished value from a no-name, imo. i would agree,its not much different than having a personal engraver put something on your lower, after that it sells to a small minority, if at all. |
