Good lord. I just sold two brand new AM15 lowers for $80 total last week. Why are local gun shops selling them for so much. Its not like they are hard to get.

Hi Everyone, very new to the AR world. I got the itch to put together a semi budget friendly AR. I have been shopping around for stripped AR lowers and from calling some of the local places to me (Gaithersburg area), I am seeing an average cost for an anderson stripped lower of $80-90. Is that an okay deal/what a stripped lower usually costs in this area? I realize this is probably the worst time to do a build. Appreciate any advice.
You can upgrade everything else on an AR, but you can't swap out your lower for a better one.
Huh?
He means, any crappy part on an AR can be swapped for a better part. A crappy lower is a paperweight.

This. Plus, even if you do swap it out, it involves two trips to an FFL a week apart, or aluminum flakes all over your kitchen machining an 80%...The lower is the core of the rifle. The heart. You can throw all the superior parts onto it you wish, but if the lower receiver is out of spec, the gun will be an incurable problem child.
Welcome!Hi everyone. New to the forum.
Are you sure about that? AOW is an NFA weapon, generally requiring a significant wait. As an “Other” you’d have a waiting period in Maryland, but perhaps you’re out of state.Mine was purchased as cash and carry as a AOW.
If you have the ability, I’d recommend you make it a Pistol first, because you can always make it a rifle after that, but not vice-versa.I am building my lower receiver to an AR9 but haven't decided to make a pistol or a rifle yet. If I make it a pistol do I need to do anything with it like register it ?
