AAC 300 slab side upper discontinued

Sorry, I may have labeled it incorrectly. It's just the basic AAC 16" upper with the Knights urx rail.

Ahh. Okay. It's $650 for the following reasons:

1. The majority of folks with 300BLK want it in a short barrel. There is very little velocity gain to be had from going 9" to 16".

2. No one is buying anything gun related right now. Sandy Hook happened - the sheep maxed out their credit cards, and now the gods of wives are angry.

I would buy it right now, but I wont due to point #1.

The 9" and 12.5" are discontinued as well. I could get either of those at that price also. The problem being is that I'm in CA and we can't have sbr's. That's not the price due to stuff not selling, it's been discontinued and I'm wondering if it's due to them revising it because of problems or if it's just that they are changing rails or something like that?

What? Is this local? Who is selling complete AAC 9" uppers with URX rails for $650?

I'm sure they are just revising it.

That's cost from a dealer. A family member works at a ffl and offered me one at his discount. I think they are selling them for like $799

Midway had the 5.56 AAC uppers for $600 recently, and I've seen the 12.5" 300BLK AAC uppers for somewhere around $660. I'd be surprised to see the 9" uppers at those prices though...they seem to be in demand.
