If any of you are like me looking to stock up on the essentials for AR building given the current feeling of an incoming ban..You may have noticed everyone is out of stock of lower receivers. I have a friend that directed me here- http://www.rguns.net/rifles/rifles-semiauto-ar15-lowers-556rguns-stripped.shtml Note the Delaware Machine lowers for 65 bucks! They are solid and made right here in Indiana, Munice to be exact. Just thought I'd share since it took me 2 days of digging. Yes the order for the 65$ lower wont most likely be shipped until February, but better that then the 4 month wait from brownells.. Be sure to call when you place your order and they will give you the same info they gave me on shipping timeframe.

I've been thinking like you and have aready pick-up 2 lowers from my ffl last week. Next is ammo and then some 20 round mags.
I like the 20s over 30s, but have both.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Does any one remember the last ban, could you still buy uppers or parts to build one?
Sad part is I had back surgery 2 months ago and doc says no guns for at least a year.
Thanks.

Not a bad deal. I still have two lowers sitting in the safe that I bought around Thanksgiving of last year when they had a $50.00 sale. It doesn't hurt to have a few laying around these days.

The insanity has already began around my neck of the woods. (NorthEast Indiana) If you think lowers are hard to find. Good luck with .223 ammo or a simple Bolt Carrier Group! I got lucky and got a few stripped lowers coming a few weeks ago. I had to pay top dollar for a B.C.G. though. At least it was a quality Nickel plated one. I'm in the process of a 6.5 Grendel Build. If i had started ordering stuff 1 week later i'm not sure i'd be able to have everything before summer! So far the only thing I'm missing is the Bolt/Barrel combo, which is scheduled to be here the first of the year. If you're in a big hurry talk to Scott at Walsh Gun and Tackle. Last I knew he had DPMS, Smith & Wesson, And Armalite stripped lowers in stock. I got a DPMS off of him last week, and as usual dealing with him was awsome!

I'm feeling the same unease myself. I had many opportunities to pick up a lower for when the one lower I own that shares 4 uppers, eventually wears out, but I never got around to it. Now I'm looking at the deteriorating situation and over my procrastinating shoulder at the prospect that I'm hosed if my lower goes south.

Hindsight is 20-20...
