Very good to hear. What I was hoping (yet not overly hopeful) to find at the show was a private-sale AR lower; i.e., no paperwork, yet legal. This was to be the base of a new CAR build I want to do; basically, buy any decent private-sale lower I could find, & piece together with tele-stock, CAR-length upper, etc.
Was considering a couple new ones I found on a dealer's table. He had new colts for $500, and new DPMS for $300; I was leaning toward the dpms, as he said he'd toss in a telestock at $320. Then when turning literally the last corner of the show, with only one aisle to go, I asked at a table that had a couple used AR's on it. The bored-looking guy behind the table didn't seem overly knowledgeable, and when I explained to him what I wanted to do, he reached under the table and said, "Would this work?", and pulls out a never-been-fired Eagle Arms lower, complete with all guts & tele-stock. Caught me by surprise, as it was exactly what I was looking for except for being new and being a brand I wasn't familiar with, so I asked how much.
He looked embarrassed to be asking for money for "part" of a gun, and said, "Two hundred ok?" Answer of course was, "Ubetcha", even though I really didn't want a new, papered receiver.
Handed him 2 hundred-dollar bills, he handed it over and sat down. I looked at him for a second & then asked, "That do it?" He says "Yep, thanks."
So I went home with my private-sale, never-been-fired lower assembly.
Popped the two pins on my old CAR, & put its upper on the new lower, and tried it out a little this evening. So far, it seems good.
Looks like sometimes a blind squirrel
does find a nut.
