Yeah.. normal pricing these days on those CMMG's is almost prohibitive, for what they are, IMHO. If you don't get a really outstanding deal I don't know if they are really worth the cost. The 2 we've been running where about $125 with 3-25rnd mags... back when the going rate was around $200. This last one for the dedicated build, with the collar adapter, I picked up from RTB when they were on sale and an additional 20% off when they were liquidating stock for their move to Florida. Came out to $160 with 3-25rnd'ers.Could have sworn I saw that CMMG drop-in on sale last week. I don't know where. It may have been mentioned here.
A collar adapter alone isn't exactly cheap ($45-$50) and would have burned up one of the AR drop ins to do a dedicated. Either that or having to swap the adapter (PITA) and put the dedicated out of commission. Paying $160 for the dedicated and more mags seemed to make more sense then paying $50, no additional mags and putting an upper out of commission on occassion. It seemed fair at that price so I sucked it up and got the new 3rd for the build. From what I've seen over the years, a decent sale price isn't all that uncommon if you can be patient.
With grandkids up and coming, one AR 22lr platform just isn't enough.
(At least that's the justification I used in my mind to make myself feel better about dropping coin on another)
