I've been holding out for a sub-2000, about to give up.

My partially custom one is still for sale for 1k bottom dollar to MT folks, I've only mentioned it being for sale here and to my FB folks. That is me trying to not loose to much on it... 1200 for anyone else.

Buy now (so I can get fun Fiat Spider parts and work on this car for spring time).

If you've still got that when I hear I've got a job, I'd be very very interested.

I've got a MEGA stripped lower that I bought once upon a time in a SIG forum group buy. At the time, MEGA was a top quality machine shop that did mostly aerospace type stuff and only produced limited runs when they were in-between big contracts. I figured I'd assemble a custom rifle and get to enjoy picking out all the custom bits myself.

It ended up getting pushed to the backburner and I don't shoot nearly as much as I used to. On one hand, I'm tempted to sell it if there is any froth in the market. On the other hand, it's probably only worth $100 - $200 so it may be better to consider it a sunk cost and just hang on to it for (A) future price appreciation in the event of a new "black rifle ban" or (B) to build as a grandfathered-in component.

I'm pretty tempted to order one. My only AR is on a Plum Crazy polymer lower.
Lower+lpk is sold out also.

Seriously thinking about a Glock 26 on Friday. GF needs a gun, so she'll probably take my Shield.

Splitime, are you of some sort of divinity?

It wasn't 20 minutes after I posted this that I got a very unexpected phone call from the exact organization I've been trying to get a job with for months, asking me if I can start work tomorrow...

Let me do an hour's worth of due diligence, and maybe I can get you some fiat for your Fiat.

I would give you two props if I could, fooger. One for scoring a job and one for the last phrase of your post.

Or if you have access to a 3d printer you can make one. I need to talk to my friends with a 3d printer and see if they will let me print one.

Pretty lousy. But for that price I could afford to practice.

I accept donations for my special skills of job gifting.

I'll keep up the loop of information regarding if this thing sells locally next week or not. Check back with me around the start of the New Year if I forget (hey, I'm human).

^ This. Prices are redic for anything in stock. I don't mind running steel through my AK, but wanting to stock up on .223 brass.
