The GOOD DEALs and INTERESTING find thread!

Not bad if you sell him one of yours.... otherwise, he is best served buying the first Aero Precision he can find locally. I wouldn’t play with anything cheaper.

He's not local, so I recommended he "buy the first Aero you come to."

That should work out well for him. AP keeps the quality pretty solid while still keeping the price down. It might be worth getting him a list along with prices. For example, if you can find a BCM complete lower for less than $400, get it. If you can find a stripped for under $200, get it. If you can find a AP complete for under $300, get it. If you can find a stripped for under $150, grab it. A list like that might make it easier for him to actually get what he needs. I can't in good faith tell people to buy an Anderson or other lower that I know has a much higher percentage of problems.

Thanks, Stick--right now the lower is the last piece of the puzzle he needs, everything else is in-hand, but a complete lower would mean a head start on spare parts too.

I know its Amazon, but they currently have 3M replacement Gel Pads for Peltor earmuffs for $20.56. I have always seen these sell for $40-$50 per pair. These are sold by Amazon and not a third party vendor.

I was suspicious, but ordered a couple of a pairs to replace some gel pads that are about 8-10 years old. The gel pads I received were in 3M packaging and had a 3M instruction sheet. They have 3M embossing in the plastic on the underside of the pads. They look and feel like the gel pads I'm replacing did when they were new.

Heh... got a 'situation' that is the exact opposite on my side of the pond.
Fella got the lower, BCG, small parts, built it out, then all the uppers went *poof* while he 'shopped around for a good deal'.

So.... anyone got a line on a decent quality upper that's in the $400-500 range?
He's not looking for something crazy right now (partially cuz he's 'seen the light', and partly cuz there's nothing left... ); just a basic FSP stripped upper like this:



He'd like a CHF barrel, but a decent standard barrel would be acceptable as well.
He's looking for either 16" Mid-gas, or a 14.5 Carbine-gas, standard A2 FH

I could kick myself for not snapping up a couple great deals from the EE here a couple months ago; coulda just passed on one of those...

Currently in stock, but probably not for long.

With Bidens talks about banning all 80 percent receivers, I expect the price on those will continue to climb.

Agreed. I’m late on the 80% game but from what I’ve seen $80 seems to be a decent price for an anodized one.
