  1. Found one type at Brownells. I guess they are expecting a shipment in January.

    Milled forging. Looks like it says TM stamped/milled logo on it. Whatever that is.

    They are taking pre-orders. 94.99

    edit: TM is Tactical Machining Their lowers start at 109 on their website and are out of stock currently.

    The problem is, no delivery date. Many of Deltas suppliers are saying 1 year for order filling. Some are no longer even taking orders. I am not going to prepay for a lower that they won't even give an estimate on when you will see it, if ever.

  2. Sorry. I don't see it as gouging. If they had a stockpile of lowers in the back room and were jacking the prices up even though they had plenty and wouldn't be able to sell them all at normal price, it might be. But NO ONE knows what's going to happen and what the market may be in the future. This is just supply and demand.

    Even though I'm still one gun short of what I wanted in my safe, I don't fault the dealers, manufacturer, or current owners selling them at twice what I could have bought one for a month ago. I'm gambling on this passing and being able to purchase one in the future at Old prices. If not, I guess I'll find something else.

    I believe it will pass and prices will go to lower than they were due to market saturation, I believe a high cap mag ban is going to happen though.

    If I were to start buying up stuff to resell at a profit after legislation, it would be mags.

  3. It IS price gouging! I don't care what anyone says! Just like gas companies hope for a storm to come within a 100 mile radius of their refinery, gun sellers drool at every gun related incident that causes panic buying. It doesn't cost the gun companies any more than it did yesterday to make the guns yet suddenly we're expected to pay 3 times as much? Ridiculous. Just me ranting, not a personal attack on you MT

    It is not in anyway, as I said its on gunbroker. It was put on with a penny starting bid and no reserve. That is market setting the price. No reserve so could've sold for 20 instead it went well over 400, that is not gouging that's market price.

    Stuff is selling for way more that I will pay for it no question. But the market, supply, demand, panic ect is setting the price right. Hard to believe but it's the buyers setting the prices as high as they are right now, not the sellers.

    I am very seriously thinking of thinning out my AR collection right now due to the prices

  4. I have a hard time with all the price gouging going on.....just sayin. Yeah I know that some are crazy enough to pay the excessive prices, but it still is messed up IMHO.

    I am reluctant to call it gouging its really at this point current value as really there are no more for all practical purposes. Nobody has any, nobody really knows when or if there will be more ect. Would I pay that, no. But I have plenty. It's the people that don't have that are concerned that there will not be any more

  5. aww, thanks hun! I feel the love.

    but... i do NOT tap out! :p;)

    Whatever, you taped out after Fridays. I had big plans that night ;)

    Well MT, I guess you'll have to find out when I can figure out whether or not I can make it or not.

    I won't have to find out, you will. Dani might not play nice or share :lol:
