AR-15 stripped lower group buy

[momo]

Well has anyone spoken to Surplus? Looks like the 100 at $49 is gone off their site....

i talked to them yesterday. looks like the deal was pulled from their site very recently.

i'm going to wait for CJ to talk to Aero. I think we are going to try going through the manufacturer first before trying to go through surplus.

Sorry guys but that price is per lower not per 4473. I dont think it's fair to charge a guy with one lower the same as a person with five. I didn't see that you had already found an FFL to do it for less, should things change with him I'd still be happy to help.

If that's the case I would lower my order from 6 to 1-2 as its not that huge of a savings and not worth ordering 5 more

good call...might get in a few bucks cheaper.

Momo got a call back from them. They won't undercut their distributors. And I can guarantee you that whichever FFL we decide to use is not going to want to sign up as a distributor. I'm sure the initial order would have to be rather large. However, I do know a DFW distributor for aero. I'm going to talk to him tomorrow and see if we could maybe work something out.

I don't see a lower in the picture. Anything I'm missing?

This group buy is for the lower. That's everything else you would need to build one. You can't internet order a lower, you have to do a form 4473.

Here is the rifle kit that is being offered for $425 to your door. Complete AR, ready to shoot for under $500


Info that I have at this point:

That's a great deal, do you know who makes the upper?

Cerro Forge???
Never heard of them, but a search shows they make the uppers for a few bigger companies.

Meh, I'm not scared of any name AR stuff, they all use the same tooling data for the most part. That's a great deal though. Any info on the barrel, is it chromed? This deal will do nicely with the lower GB. Right now we need to secure an FFL on a per form basis (I'm working on that). Once we get that we'll see if we can get the distributor to drop down a few bucks and once we lock it in we'll start taking money.

Right now, it looks as if we're going to have to do paypal + 3%. I've looked over other peoples experiences and paypal monitors their accounts pretty closely, and I'm sure they would notice $5000 in ~$60 segments all gifted. And on top of that they don't allow firearm related purchases (which this really isn't a direct purchase, but they would construe it as that). It would really help if you guys might ask around or see if you could dig up a better way to do it. I'm not exactly interest in doing the checking account thing as that would be a pain in the ass to get everyone to transfer money into it from their various banks (and the account restrictions).

There really aren't too many other options, unless you wanted everyone to give you a money order/ cashiers check by a certain date, you deposit it and make the purchase on such and such date. But then you have to worry about snail mail.

Really the only other thing to do is plan a date where we meet somewhere locally and everyone give you their cash. People like Yale who are out of town can use paypal for that.

Given the number of people... Paypal is probably the easiest. Besides who said anything about a firearm purchase, personally I'm buy a couple of anodized aluminum paper weights for the office...

I'm sure someone (especially 3rd parties involved) is going to put "AR15 lower receiver" under the notes or information section of their paypal transfer.

That kit doesn't look too bad. And an AR for under $500 not bad at all. Where is that deal from?

[GT Dan]

Stupid question but, will these lowers come with consecutive serial numbers?

I'm only down for one and it wouldn't bother me a bit if you charged the same price for five. I have my CHL and $10 is a hell of a deal for an FFL transfer...
