I was gonna get a PSA, but ended up with a Spikes because the FFL had some on hand and it was cheaper than getting a PSA and paying the transfer fee.

Quoted: Cheapest I know of is Surplus Ammo & Arms rollmarked lowers I finished building my last lower out of the "Essential-Arms-Pre-Obama-Election-Stash" a while back, so I signed-up to be notified when Aim Surplus got more of the $60 Surplus Arms & Ammo lowers in stock. Last night at 5:25pm I got an email notifying me that they were in stock. Less than 2 hours later I sat down in front of my computer with CC in hand to order a pile of them and... they were already gone!  So now I'm back on the notification list, and I won't be so slow (Yeah. Less than 2 hours!) next time. |

Many local gun shops carry stripped lowers for around $130 or so. If you find one online for $80 then by the time you add in shipping + transfer fees ... there's not much if any difference at all except for the brand name and a little hassle.
I like some brands over others when it comes to matching color, cool roll marks and preference with fire selector markings, but for the most part a lower is a lower with some exceptions. |

I did get the email on my Droid... while driving. Then, of course, as soon as I got home, Momma hit me with a to-do-right-now list. That's why the time lapse. Trust me. Wehn I got the ST-T2 buffer email from Aim, I had order confirmation for three of them within 5 minutes of receiving the notification.

What he said. I found a YHM stripped lower at a shop, $140 out the door, instant gratification for a few extra bucks. Figured online pricing has to include shipping, FFL fees and wait time. Everything else I ordered, but I wanted the lower in the quickest and easiest manner. |

I paid $99 for a complete lower from New Frontier, being local I picked it up last week. Had to pay sales tax but nothing for registration as my CCW covers that. JoeBobs has them for sale too.
Used this lower with my 6.8 SPC upper, nice trigger pull for shooting this week. I also purchased a Forged mil spec lower $79 stripped. But for that one I paid a whole lot more putting the stuff I wanted on it:

I bought a couple of those lowers. Threw a no name upper on one that was rotting in the closet and it made a decent combination. |
