Some low end manufacturers getting desperate

[JC5188]

An aside, if I may- but do you classify Aero as low tier? I don't myself. No biggie, errbody don't get bent over it, just asking.
And I agree with 100% about the overdue course correction.

I just finished my 300 BO build using Aero upper and lower. Absolutely perfect for my use. Im not an LEO or operator but i would trust my Aero or Stag to defend my family & property if the need be.

Everything I've read, the consensus is that their receivers are good for building...their complete rifles have had some issues.

Who is selling Anderson lowers for that?

Best I've seen is just under $40. At that price, I'm seriously considering ordering several.

I think most companies overproduced during the elections and now they're sitting on piles of unsold rifles. I guess you could stash a few away for speculation purposes, but you might not be able to unload them for a long time.

Yup. If people are smart they are buying cheap and stacking deep. I am. Or was until I found night vision. Now I'm broke.

I agree that the best part of this is that some of the low-tier manufacturers will end up gone. There is always a market for quality, even if times get lean. I don't see Colt, BCM, or DD going out of business, but you may see an industry shake-up.

Colt is constantly going out if business and or broke lol.

Everyone who doesn't have a /gov contract, from dealers, to manufacturers, who floats any debt at all, is desperate as shit and going broke.

Yeah it doesn't look good if you're in that position.

Those prices are really cheap -- will the average owner be able to tell the difference between one of these "cost effective" lowers and one of the more expensive ones? I'm really tempted to stock up

The problem with stocking up on cheap lowers is three or four years down the road when you go to build yourself an AR you find out the lower that has been sitting in the back of the safe is all caddywompus. Personally I'd rather spend an extra 20 buck and get a SIONICS that I know is going to be gtg.

I have a friend the wants an Anderson because that is her last name, I told her to get everything else first, then we will building it immediately after picking up the lower, that way if something is wacked it can be dealt with immediately.

You'll be able to tell, when they don't go together correctly.

I hear stock up, I thought everybody already stocked up. I'm tripping over guns and have a couple stripped lowers and one LMT Mars lower fully built. If you buy that $40 lower to build off, better make sure you can build off of it and never plan to sell it. Because Colts and stuff might be going for a buck or two.

But everybody can spend their money as they wish. It's just if you can buy a quality , brand known piece for $100, why buy something you won't love for $50. I guess everybody see's it different.
