    Hey guys. I think I just bought the last AR lower on the face of the planet. (at least it feels like it) Apparently bushmaster is months behind right now and if the ban passes then forget it anyways. So my dream M16 is out of the question. I bought a sun devil mfg lower with lower parts kit already installed. I think they should sell for $225 but I was in no position to argue so I paid the $325.

    Basically the questions I have are

    -Is Sun Devil a decent company?
    -How bad did I get raped.

    depends what material you got. 6061 alloy lower? Thats what they were when I first looked into them. They do great machining but I personally think the material is garbage no offense

    A bit of butt rape it would seem.

    Its a good lover OP. The price isnt bad for the current shortage either. Striped Lowers are already $300.00

    I can sell all 50 of mine now in a day at $300 if I was so inclined.

    let me get this straight, you bought a complete lower or lower with lower parts for $325

    Its gonna get higher than that.

    Whiskey under the bridge; build it, enjoy it, and move forward.

    Do you know the manufacturer of the parts kit? The Sun Devil lowers used to run about $175, add in a $60 for a parts kits and you probably only paid a $100 premium at the most.

    Given the current availability of any AR lower, I'm sure a few folks would gladly take it off your hands for what you paid for it.

    This reminds me of the Dutch Tulip bubble of 1637. :rolleyes:

    I owe you a favor for all you do for me. If you still need those bolts "reworked" please let me know.

    I do it for free my friend.

    I would be happy to have you work on it, but would never let you do it for free. Not with all those kids you have. :toothless

    I'm ok for now. The Sun Devil is stripped. I think I may do a 6.5 Grendel build with it, but not sure.

    I've got a .308 lower with LPK installed, that I'm waiting for the panic to rise a bit more, then it's going on GB LOL.

    And don't waste your time PM'ing me. I'm not looking to hook anyone up with this. It's more or less the only thing I have floating around that I don't want to hold on to, so I'm going to maximize my profits LOL.
