pre-bans are where you find them- look in other states where the distinction is now irrelevent-about 20 years ago I bought 2 real cheap(under $125 for both) essential arms lowers- they have run fine for thousands of rounds but are certainly not what you'd call a first tier lower!
Anyway a couple years ago I see a EA 15 advertised on auction arms (before EA resumed lower production post ban) others must have been scared of the off brand lower- picked up a rifle made with a complete colt 16 m4 upper including a knight's ras system on the EA lower for under 600 bucks. Sold the upper (all colt except for the RAS system) for 600 bucks so my lower was free. it now wears a Noveske upper that I configured in post ban (no muzzle device or threads) that was ordered before I knew I'd be able to pick up a pre ban lower |
Budget Bangstick in 5.45:
Main SHTF utilitarian, Mid-Length CMMG 1/7 upper and lower, RRA lpk, A2 stock, MIAD grip, YHM QDS BUIS, YHM pointy comp for "encouraging bad guys along", ADM mount for TA33R-8 Acog coming in the mail this week 
"The Gold Toof", I was going for accuracy and raw pimpitude when I built this. LW50 "Viper" .936" bull barrel with carbine length gas system from M16CLINIC.COM, Sun Devil Upper and Lower, RRA 2 stage NM trigger/lpk, Jerry Miculek charging handle (made of steel), YHM Lightweight full length rail, YHM QDS BUIS (yeah, I liked em so much I bought another set), getting the D&L compact brake as soon as I can save the $213 for it, and just today attached the LT104 with Burris XTR 1-4 scope to the top. This gun is porno. It has also shot .75" groups at 100 yards with WOLF. No, not kidding. It'll do .50" with SS109, and I've got 60 rounds of 69 grain match to try in it this spring! It, sadly, is probably my most extravagant possession and I love it. This is what you do with your hard earned cash when you're 34 and lack a wife and kids  It never complains but its always begging for money!!

| Its a DPMS offering actually, its an extremely hard coating that goes on in a fog called "titanium nitride". I don't think its by any means necessary, and some people have actually complained that it chews up the inside of their uppers as the coating is actually harder than the steel it sits on. I haven't seen any wear at all though, and i only got it because it was pimp. The entire BCG is coated including the firing pin, which have been accused of penetrating primers...but again, I havent had any problems there either. I like it! |
