So I have been following the thread about the Polymer80 Glock lowers, and then I found a Polymer80 for the G19, and after having build an AR from scratch about a year ago, I am getting the itch to build myself another piece. Welp, I started doing some research, and after adding up the:
Stripped Slide
Barrel
Polymer80 Lower
Spring Kit
Trigger
Trigger Bar
AND NOTHING ELSE!
I was already almost over $700. How is it possible that I can buy a brand new G19 with shipping and FFL transfer for $635 online, but to even consider building one with the most basic materials, it will cost me at least $200 more?!
I'm not even a Glock guy...I have plenty of guns, its mostly just a hobby etc. I would think that buying the parts and putting them together myself would be cheaper! It certainly was with the AR, and I didn't skimp on the parts I put into that!
Anyway, it feels to me like I am going to end up building another AR if these handgun parts prices stay where they are. Just what I need, another rifle!
