[robbo]

I'll take 3

For you folks not down with the distance, consider that it's probably not more than 30 mins or so past the Bay Bridge in beautiful country. Plenty of good food to be had nearby... gun show in Easton this weekend...

I am up here in Frederick. I am thinking on purchasing maybe 2 lowers on this buy. if anybody else up here wants to, I have a full size conversion van that can accommodate 6 more adults comfortably (maybe two more on the floor). I think if we get enough people to vanpool it down there it will be cost effective.

Hell, if i am going anyone else is welcome to tag along. The more rifles we can get into people's possession the better.

I'm already becoming a regular customer at Gun Connection so what's a little further?

Corsica's hours are by appointment only anyway. I think they will work with us.

I'm in for 3(5)

I have no experience in building AR's. Can anyone tell me what the process is like when going from these receivers to a fully built AR?

It is quite simple really. I'm not mechanically inclined at all, and it takes me no more than 45 minutes to complete a lower. For the most part it is just a matter of driving a few pins and screwing on the the buffer. The hardest part is making sure that you don't lose one of the small springs that have a tendency to take flight at supersonic speeds.

That is where the plastic bag trick comes in handy.

I'd be in for vanpooling, i'm right down by 695 and 97 in Brooklyn Park and I've got an EZPass we can use for the bridge and of course I'll give some cash for gas

If we purchase more than 1, is it still covered under the $20 trnasfer +$10 MSP? Or do we pay the transfer and MSP for each reciever?

Is there a certain time period we have to go to fill out the paperwork? As in, if I say I'm in, can I go fill out paperwork next weekend?? Or does Corsica actually have to have the recievers in hand before paperwork can be filled out?

I'm asking cause when I "asked" the wife, she said... "Oh, Centreville! Thats close to the outlet malls, I need to go there soon!" ...Somehow I think this reciever is going to end up costing me a lot more than what was posted

Fees are ALWAYS per transfer no matter where you go.

1 receiver would be $20 plus $10 to OMouthy
2 receiver would be $40 plus $20 to Omouthy

etc etc....

 

[FIREHAWK]

both would be on the same application so you should only pay $10 once.

 

[Boxcab]

I'm in for one (maybe more , but I need to check how much my wife wants to spend on me for x-mas!)

Would it be possible to have them shipped (for a fee of course) to local FFL's for those of us a good haul away?

or other dealers on the board?

To expand on DD214's point, yes, the lowers are quite easy to assemble. I recommend you obtain a set of roll pin punches if you plan to do more than 1 (or even if you only plan to do 1). They self-center on the hollow roll pins and lets you drive them home without distorting them like a flat punch does. I speak from experience. I bought a set of roll pin punches for $15 after I did my first lower and it make the process go much smoother.

Amish see my post above. (#24)

Let me know if you are interested.

When were you thinking of doing it?

One of the reasons I didn't want to drive out there (besides the long drive) is I have a bit of traveling to do with business over the next few weeks.



Also does anyone have a mock up of what the lower would look like w/ the logo?

 

[biermkr]

I think we have between:

Depending upon the numbers of commitments and the timing of their order commitments the delivery date will be between 6 weeks and approx 4 months

I think we can work something out.

 

[Corsica Coatings]

I can ship to another FFL if that will help for you folks out West...maybe $$$ extra for shipping but then you will need to pay the transfer for the other dealer which may be more than the $20 I'm charging so figure out which is cheaper. I'm trying to help you guys so let me know.

Joe

DID we get any bulk price on their stripped flat top?

 

[biermkr]

As long as we can work out the timing I am willing to drive out and bring all who wish to accompany me, and fit in the van!
