The price of liberty is, always has been, and always will be blood: The person who is not willing to die for his liberty has already lost it to the first scoundrel who is willing to risk dying to violate that person's liberty! Are you free?

Price gouging. Giving their sellers the shaft by selling stuff direct instead of fulfilling back orders from shops & retailers. Also by releasing a good number of way out of spec AR57 lowers. Aero & SAA both took the panic to the extreme, much more than even cheaper than dirt did. What was the worst, is a lot of good companies who had been waiting on backorders to be fulfilled were basically shafted because AP would rather sell direct, thus making as much money as possible on each sale due to the gouging.
(BTW I own numerous AP lowers, so not like I'm a non owner talking trash about them).

From TOS ... "buy the shit out of that thing, all the mil spec is just nonsense."
I might add that AP has been good about getting the lower price points back in service. If that BCG is up to snuff then that is more affordable than some of the others. Most businesses have a skeleton or two in their closet.

If you spend much time around the guys who really, really know their craft, and who truly live this stuff, you tend to find that they are very soft-spoken and modest -- almost to the extreme. To my mind, that is a model worthy of emulation

Going to order an ap lower here soon.
I bought many "tried and true" BCGs when most of them (I don't own a colt) were $130, no matter where you bought one. I don't see any reason for them to now be $180 other than because they can. If anyone is taking advantage of the current circumstances, I believe it is the BIG NAMES going for $180+. But hey, what do I know?

Go in peace, but be prepared for violence.
I remember being able to buy BCM bcg's for about $100 to $120 and lesser known brands for $80 Pre-travesty at regular prices, sales were naturally cheaper. I think that the same dynamics that make us joyfully thankful for gas prices at $3.00/g make us happy that we can get $180 dollar mil-spec bcg's
