    Because lowers can be built into rifles..?

    It seems like lowers, LPK's, and BCG's have been tne hardest items to get during the "panics".

    If you look around you can find LMT defender and BCM blem lowers in stock right now. They are more expensive than the PSA lowers suggested but there are no questions about their quality.

    The lower is the part that is considered the firearm and has the serial number. As you probably know, you have to get your lower from someone with a Federal Firearms License. This is a registered purchase (in that it says you purchased a long gun, it won't specifically say what it is). The upper and all other parts are not regulated so anybody can simply order one online. I'm 16 and I just got my BCM upper. States like California are considering banning all semi-auto rifles with detachable magazines. Having a few legal lowers allows people to build their rifles after the ban. Thats the way I see it anyway. Hope this helps.

    And it makes shit for difference. People are here splitting hairs. I have cheap $40 Milspec buffer kits all the way to the system on my SR15/SR25, and they all work.

    I post a deal and you guys are bitching about something that doesn't even matter.

    Read less and shoot more. You might be suprised by what you will find out.

    Show me an instance where the use of a 7000 series Alum would have made a difference vs a 6000 series alum..................

    There is no question about PSA quality. LMT and BCM lowers are 2x or more than the cost of these.

    The whole point is being able to stack a bunch of lowers should there be a future state/fed ban, and being able to build a bunch of rifles on the cheap.

    Really? You're way ahead of the curve then hanging out at M4C vs "other" forums spewing mall ninja nonsense and know far more than I did at 16 about such topics. There was no internet when I was 16, so I have a decent excuse at least. Good on you.

    And just to make sure I have said it to sound like some nosy uncle: safety first, safety last, safety always.

    PSA has Built Lowers for $199. You cannot even build them this cheap using decent parts.

    No one can bitch durring the next ban/runup that they didn't have a chance to buy a few more.

    Yeah too bad we all blew our wad during the panic!
    Relatively speaking of coarse, I refused to pay more than MSRP, but 15 dollars for a Gen 3 P-Mag is much more than $10!

    +1. I was just about to post about him having more comon sense and being more level headed at 16, then half the people who live on this site.

    You would be HIGHLY served to also research elsewhere on the net. M4C tends to get some pretty polar (and many times wrong) personalites that care more about brand then the actual merits of the product.

    Yea man, Ive bought a bunch and have directed friends and family to do the same.

    For 90% of rec shooters, this is a very good choice and lets them spend money on a good upper/optics and some ammo. Throw a Sparc or TR-25 on there and 10 mags or so, and you can have a nice little servicble setup for under $1K.
