    Look at the shootings that have happened with the riots. The guns used are immediately taken into evidence. So if you think there’s a reasonable chance you’ll use your rifle for real you need an immediate ready to go backup fo when you’re released from interrogation.

    That pile of bolts and stripped lowers won’t do you much good that first night home.
    Which is one of the reasons I've never believed in the one gun concept. I take it a step further though. I think ideally you should have three fully kitted up carbines. One for serious use like home defense, one for training, and one backup that can be pushed into either role if one of the others is taken out of commission or held for evidence. A fourth option would be something compact with a Law Tactical folder that could be discreetly carried in a backpack....but a folding shorty could certainly pull double duty as a house gun and a travel backpack gun.

    Well I lost my mind and bought a couple of Ti-rant suppressors today. $399 out the door each. But while I was there they had Areo complete lowers with a very nice brace for $350. I might keep it in case I want to go out of state with a shorty upper. I have no pistol brace AR15 lowers.

    So there are some good deals out there popping up here and there.

    So, if you were me, would you wait and hope that places that currently have them listed for $90 to $100 (but sold out) get them in and don't raise their prices, or just pull the trigger now? I've got a bad case of analysis paralysis.

    Thanks,

    Gave about 50 for the last one I bought from them. $80.00 is high in my opinion

    You could revisit it in 3 months and see what they cost.

    Buy it now you never know whats is going to happen tomorrow. Its good to have spares around and if you die then your kids or friends will say what was he doing with all this stuff. Its better to have it and not need it then to need it and can't get it. I had a complete rifle lower in the vault that I decided to use and then went out and bought anoter lower and parts to replace the one I used.
