Shopping around stripped lowers

[Jonathan Waits]

awesome, just hope nothing happens between now and then.

 

[Jonathan Waits]

So I just saw that AP is a having a memday sale, blem lowers 85 bucks. Worth it? Or keep waiting?

 

[Matt1911]

Do it. Factory blems are usually the tiniest of scratches that go unnoticed.

 

[Dustin Cantrell]

I'm with Matt. I have a few blem lowers and you can hardly tell. They either had tiny little pin hole sized blemishes or blemishes you can't see once assembled.

 

[Jonathan Waits]

Right, but does the 85 bucks make it worth it?

 

[DoctorJJ]

That's a pretty good price theses days for any kind of lower.

 

[Matt1911]

If I needed another lower, I'd buy it for $85

Also, with a blem lower you can sometimes clean the area and apply some Aluminum Black and no one will ever know it was a blem lower. I have fixed scratches and places where the lowers finish looked thin, they usually come out looking pretty good.

I bought all of my lowers for less than $100 bucks. Got a spike's and two Loki's. Got the Loki's during one of Matt's group buys about a year or so ago.

Most of my aluminum uppers and lowers were purchased as blems. I can't find the issue on any of them. :triniti:

Ok who's AP? I need another lower or two.

All of my uppers, lowers, stocks, forearms, scopes, mags, etc are now blems because of 3 gun. So purchasing a blem from the factory is ideal because it saves me time on turning it into a blem.

I just looked Jesse. Aero is selling blems for $85.

Like below, if you can find the blem. The 2 PSA blems I've worked with I couldn't really find a blemm'd area.

LOL!! Awesome.

Shipping is about 11 bucks, making it 96 bucks. Plus 10 dollar for transfer, still worth it?

 

[Matt1911]

Yup

 

[Jonathan Waits]

Well took the jump, so excited!

 

[Kenneth Webb]

It's a good price in this climate. Congrats on your first !

 

[Jonathan Waits]

Thanks.I have some questions regarding LPKs. From what I am hearing, CMMG's come with slightly better triggers? Is this true? Are the rest of the parts any better? The only place I have seen them is amazon, and they ran about 115, however other places have lpks for around 60 bucks.

 

[DoctorJJ]

I haven't found any trigger that comes with a LPK to be anything I'd want. They all get JP triggers for me.

 

[Jonathan Waits]

Yeah, unfortunately, if I put a jp trigger in it, I wont be able to finish the riffle until two years from now if I stay within my current budget haha.
