OK, since you all have kept this going and I keep reading it, I will jump on board and take 1. Has it been decided if Jeff Dowdle will handle the transfer? I have dealt with him a couple times in the past, and he has been great to work with.

Hard to say, we're still trying to get a good order number in, letting it settle out tonight, still getting people interested. Tomorrow I will call aimsurplus and try to get the unit price down. At the moment, we're looking around $55 each shipped for the lowers, with a $5 FFL fee for each. So, possibly you could get an AR-15 lower in your hands for $60 bucks - that's stupid cheap. And we can do better than that I think. 8mpg is going to clarify the FFL fees, and I'll report back tomorrow where we're at as far as the lowers. Each day that's gone by we've lowered the cost and upped the volume, so things are looking good. I'm hoping to get them down to $50 out the door or lower.

As of right now we're at 186 - Almost double the 100 unit quote for $51 each shipped.

I'm also going to see if they might be interested in a separate parts kit group buy, you're call going to need to build these things one day... might as well save money at the same time.

Good call on the LPK idea.


Also...I cannot access the spread sheet here at work. Could you put me down for 3?

I spoke to josh at surplus ammo. Best he can do is $45 per lower on any order over 100 units. we can switch the lowers to an aero precision branded lower for $50 each (both are made by aero precision). He will throw in a parts kit with any lower for an additional $40. Looks to be about $48 shipped each lower. I will have the final prices by monday when i get the exact shipping costs.

Now i have to wait in anticipation until Monday!!!! Not a bad price at all for a stamped one with a LPK for ~$100 both shipped? Per lower with a LPK? When we get the final price i'll know for sure then if i can get LPKs to go with them or order another Lower.

nice. i dont know if we can do a mixed order but i would pay an extra $5 for aero stamped units.

i would go ahead and get lower parts kits as well assuming you think they are pretty good quality unless i can do better else where.
edit: actually, it looks like the rifle kit Chopped54 posted has lower parts. i may not need LPKs

Not going to lie CJ, you're one of the few people from the site that I trust giving money to and actually coming through on the deal.

just let me know what help you need. i can fashion up some payment slips, receipts, collect, and deliver to you from north dallas/plano.

Haha, rest assured I'm far too lazy to craft up an ellaborate scam to steal your money.

I'll make a new thread and include all the applicable info necessary once I get our final prices.

Haha i don't mean that in a bad way. I just meant the anticipation of getting this group deal done and hoping everything goes through. I guess because i'm already looking at options for the lowers and getting antsy!! Damn you black rifles!!!

This is pretty awesome. A round of applause is in order for Chopped54, CJ and Momostallion for sure.

CJ... prices on FFL are set. $5 each if you buy multiple or $10CHL for 1, $15/non-chl.

Im in for 4, so my price is $20.

I have updated the spreadsheet with prices. CJ, you can change the unit price to whatever it needs to be and it should calculate the totals.

[motoman]

I just want to double check this, so I'm a non CHL, I'm paying $15 + 5 for each lower? Or the $15 is for a non CHL buying 1?
