A funshop local to me has a whole display case full of $50 Anderson lowers.
The idea of making 80% lowers and ghost guns outside the confines of a few states is a farce, as lowers are so cheap these days.
Primary Arms is 45 minutes away from me so I can get $40 Anderson lowers plus sales tax.  I was mulling over over $35 lower parts kits yesterday.

I put together a $400 lightweight AR kit from PSA in December.  I need to post a review of it.  It shoots pretty good and is decently light.

I am curious if name brand AR's are selling better as I have some I would part with if I could get anywhere close to what I paid.

Just spitballing....
I'm betting that an upper receiver is going to be MUCH more difficult to fabricobble together (tighter tolerances, plus a long keyway to broach cut)  in a home shop than a lower, if there is ever a sweeping ban on ARs and AR parts.
One should stock away a few uppers or at least upper receivers and LPKs..

Word (and thread drift). I don't want to be racist, but at my Costco it's always one particular non-English speaking group who take up the whole aisle walking in a single direction.

At my Costco, it is almost always overweight middle-aged white women.

I haven't made it to the Idaho Costco yet. We'll see what it is there.
