And I am sure I will read in the comments where to buy good Mil-Spec lowers for a $100 or even less.
It is either paying for mom’s medications or finally getting me an AR.
I can give you parts to purchase, a few at a time, to make your own, even less expensive, Miguel. MIL SPEC parts. Nothing less. You can get the parts, brand new, as surplus, on sale and over stocks constantly. I know and get the deals DAILY, from parts and suppliers. Get a template for drilling,(I’ll send you one, albeit you can use only once for now), for drilling and milling. I can give you the exact drills, and such, which are not expensive.(Harbor Freight is good), and you can have your AR 15, in about 3 months, or at your available time and expense.
Remember, I built and maintained these weapons, and know them VERY well. NO, I am not in business to make money. I am going to help a friend… I do that for free. AND, I can and will talk you through all the steps, using a 80% lower. Just contact me… We can go through all of it, in private.
I may take your offer up in the (hopefully) not so far future. Thanks 🙂
Palmetto offers lowers for $39 right now. It’s good stuff from what I have experienced.
I got a bunch of Sig AR mags on sale for $5 each. I’ll donate five to the cause. Contact me via email if you are interested.
Miguel, you have some very decent and generous friends. That speaks well of your character. I agree with them!
