Are all AR parts out of stock everywhere?

[AR15AK47USER]

I managed to get a S&W lower and now am trying to scrape up parts to finish a 16" carbine. I can't find anything anywhere. I am looking for a milspec extension and a lower completion kit. I figure I can wait a bit for an upper but want to get the lower done with a collapsing stock before they outlaw it. Any ideas where? I already got two ARs but as I saw the lower I thought why not build one more. Guess I can always keep it as a spare anyway.

PK Firearms has parts. I was able to get a RRA lower parts kit tonight for $70.00

It does seem that parts are becoming more available. You just have to keep looking.

My biggest two problems with builds.

1. Parts are out there, you just end up sources from about 6 suppliers, and going back and forth trying to figure out who has the most parts to keep the shipping charges down.

2. As a look around for all the parts, I start to order more crap that I really don't need.

I did mine in reverse. I got the stock and LPK. Then I went and bought a lower.

I wouldn't be in a big hurry to get that stock mounted. If legislation gets done, it won't matter... you'll be screwed either way.

My problem too. I can find stuff, I just don't really want to pay 8 dollars to have a castle nut shipped.

I agree with markm. If you are concerned with a ban then you shouldn't even be looking at stuff. If it happens, it will happen.

Try and find what you need at one place and save yourself money on the shipping.

We're on the same page, I'm waiting for midway to have a few small items I need in stock before I pay the 7 for shipping on a couple springs and an ejection port door.

Thanks all. Will check things out. Not sure PK had any Milspec stuff listed. Yeah, maybe I will just keep the lower in reserve.

this might be an indication of the AR parts situation:

i had a 1911 frame waiting to get on a CNC machine for some checkering. four months later the machining center was done with the AR parts it was set up for, and my frame was recently finished.

Just order it all from Brownells and back order items out of stock. They will send it as they get it but will only charge shipping one time.
