Best local deals for AR15 metal lowers?

[CamoDeafie]

Ordered a kit off the internet, it should be here pretty soon from Sarco... I wonder, what's the best local deals for a stripped aluminum lower?
I figure that if I order online from whoever's in stock, transfers thanks to SB941 will make it practically not worth ordering if I can find one cheaper locally?

My budget is between $50 and 100 at the most.
SO...which shops or FFL dealer has the best prices on stripped lowers in Oregon?

Tick Licker on South Commercial in Salem is pretty good. Tick Licker Firearms, LLC. A little surprised, but they do have some prices listed on their web site. Click on Misc and then on the Aero or Anderson logos to see the prices for lowers and LPKs.

And I'd think you could get an anderson lower at most dealers. I've got two builds on Andersons, and for the price, they work. What more could a guy ask for?

I have NO connection whatsoever with this dealer, however he seems to always have fair prices online. Never visited his store, however I believe he is in your neck of the woods.
Ditto on the Anderson lowers, will get the job done!

NW Armory has Andersons for $69.99. Nw armory had a sale 3 months ago of 2 for 100. I wish I grabbed a couple more but I'm good now .

At the last PDX gun show I saw several lowers for under $100. If you can catch a gun show it may be cheaper than paying separate FFL.

Also I saw somwhere that you should claim "other" in the form (941?) under type of firearm. That way you can build it either as long gun or pistol. Something to look into.

Its not that the should claim other. You have to claim other. Any dealer who runs it as a rifle or pistol is not following the ATF regs. Its not a rifle or a pistol until it is built as such.

George Paulus in Salem is also a distributor for several manufacturers. He did a transfer for me earlier this year and his prices are more than fair. Email address is [email protected]. Might want to see what he can do for you.

If you don't recall how the dealer has registered the lower, you could possibly contact them. However this might not always work...
I just got off the phone with Kieth's Sporting Good's to confirm a receiver designation, that I purchased from them a few years ago. I was told that they turned over all of their paperwork to the ATF about two years ago. If you bought anything from them before that, your paper is somewhere at the ATF.

That is a common dealer practice. Not required by any stretch but the ATF doesnt mind. I know one dealer that transfers the business to his brother back and forth every three years and sends all filed paperwork in to the ATF each cycle. No idea why but he doesnt like to let the existing business structure run longer than 3 years. Tax purposes maybe.

It doesnt matter what it was transferred as. Its still not a pistol/receiver until built as such.

Sounds like the guy keeps claiming a "loss" on his taxes. Thanks for the info Yakima.

Dan-Dee sales in Lebanon has had Anderson lowers at reasonable prices.

Does it have to be pure metal? Slickguns was just advertising an ATI hybrid (plastic with metal reinforcing the important parts kinda like a Glock frame) with included mag of uncertain brand for $45 plus $6 shipping.

Wondering the same thing from opposite side of the state line...

A friend of mine has one of these on a pistol build and he is real pleased with quality. I have handled it and the lighter weight is nice.

 

[CamoDeafie]

I went to Eds guns and got the Anderson lower. Now just waiting on Sarco... has anyone on here have recent experience with them?

 

[Diamondback]

Also, if you don't mind "Ship to FFL" Tennessee Arms is advertising their hybrids at $43 each.

Wish I could understand what's so special about Umbrella Corp. receivers other than name and logo for their $150 cheapest option... my gal's a big Resident Evil/zombie-horror fan so a build on theirs would be right up her alley. (Then again, all THAT really needs is an octagon with alternating red-and-white pie wedges, right? )

Having personally snapped the back end off of a Bushmaster "polymer" ( plastic ) lower I wouldnt touch one with a ten foot pole.
