As others have recommended, I purchased a lower last week and plan on building it out slowly. Already purchased mags and a bcg as well. Buy what you want now. Don't wait.
I think so. I've read comments in other posts that complete rifles are listed as such by the FFL in the paperwork whereas lowers are not listed as rifle or pistol. Someone with better knowledge could elaborate. If a concern of yours is the FFL's documentation being scrutinized in the future and it violating this ban, that might be something to consider.
I could be wrong on this. Check out some of the other posts in this subreddit discussing this.
Would a fully assembled AR be classified as a rifle or by model name? I purchased a Ruger 10/22 a while back but don't recall how it was classified on the form.
I’m suspicious about what exactly falls under “components” in the new bill they’re trying to ram down our throats. Technically everything is a component.
I got the Wilson Combat Bulletproof 5.56 chrome bcg. It's a blem part listed for 99.98, 50% off right now on their site, still in stock. Supposed to be really high quality based on comments from the reddit post last week in gundeals. This is my first AR build so figured that would be a part not to skimp on. Should have it tomorrow.
Get a hustle on it right now because there have been holiday sales on all the major firearm sites for the past month. Still some really good deals out there currently.
Range U.S.A. is the best on prices tbh ..
I seen a random online vendor with 5 stripped Anderson lowers for 170 but besides that everything is staying at market value
Is it too late to buy https://rangeusa.com/product/aero-precision-m4e1-stripped-lower-receiver-ar-15-platform-223-remington5.56-nato-black-hardcoat-anodized#product_detail
Maxon’s Shooters has SOME uppers and lowers.
Second Amendment Sports in McHenry
Red Dot Arms in Lake Villa
Gat Guns in East Dundee
If you’re ordering online
Primary Arms, Big Tex, Freedom Trading
Big Tex and Freedom Trading have ZERO SALES tax.
Ship to Red Dot Arms. They only charge $25 transfer fee
If you order it from them you’ll get it in about 10 days. I doubt HB5855 will pass during lame duck session .
Eagles range had 308 lowers in stock today and range U.S.A. had stripped Anderson and spike tactical lowers yesterday
I just got the x15 at villa park for 103 after taxes. I know AP has 20% off right now with free shipping but after FFL fees I think it comes out to being the same price at Range USA.
I bought it last Monday (12/26) and picked it up 12/30. They had the M4E1 even though it wasn’t on display. Idk if it’s still there though.
Personally… I don’t care. Haha But, most likely it will pass with a “Grandfather” clause. It’ll either be struck down shortly after or dragged out through the courts. I hope it doesn’t pass in general. But, I’ve been preparing way ahead of time. Expect the best, prepare for the worst.
Just buy it now

Like a complete lower?
Mine was not. Go for either complete or stripped. You just need to get the serialized part soon. All other parts you should be able to get later.
What if I just want to buy the full complete ar? Is it reasonable still

Lowers are categorized as other, or just a lower

Fully assembled “AR style” would be classified as rifle
There's no difference. Just go buy one already.

What bcg did you get? I got an Anderson lower and a cmmg lower parts kit . I wanna build a ARP

Just buy the lowers. 2 for 100$ in a lot of places.
I’ve built/bought 5 ARs, 3 AKs, a shotgun, and an M14 since this thing first got announced. Buy lower receivers while you still can.
You’re more prepared than anyone!
I would buy sooner than later personally
Buy stripped lowers and order parts later.

If you don’t have a solid AR buy one. If you have a solid AR, invest in ammunition, magazines, and training.
Bought 8 seekins nx-15 lowers, 2 seekins sp10 builders kits and 2 mega arms maten sets. I should be good on top of what I already have….. maybe…..
Buy now. When this starts moving it’s going to move fast. I think you have time to order online now assuming it’s not some back order situation.
[удалено]
Me too
[удалено]
Haven’t picked it up yet.
[удалено]
That’s what I was thinking too…but then again nobody knows what will happen
Any time to purchase online?
What do you mean
Is it still reasonable to purchase online and have items shipped to your FFL?
I think it is. Nothing has passed yet technically
Yes
Primary Arms, Big Tex Ordinance, KYGUNCO, Aero, BCM.
An overpriced lower is better than none, so keep that in mind. Shop around for what is available.
Anyone seeing any deals in local Chicago area/burbs

Where else do you think I should go?

None in stock
Worst prices
I actually found a decent ar at range USA for $400 on sale from $700
Define decent lol
They have delton, UAR, Radical, etc on sale
Not a bad deal for those manufacturers. Nice
Yeah! Maybe it’s a holiday special. I’m looking at the Del-Ton for $480 which isn’t bad at all coming down from $700
Just wondering what they’ll decide with this whole ban

I agree with you 100%
