Title: Stripped lowers on sale
Post by: Jburke on January 13, 2014, 10:49:00 AM
For anyone that is interested in building an AR Palmetto state armory has got a deal on Anderson lowers right now.  I picked up one and figured for the price it was worth a try.

I had been looking around for the last week or so hoping to find a good deal on one.  Then when I found this one I couldn't say no.  Looks like most of the reviews are positive so I thought that for the money they were worth a shot.

Question: The lower must be sent to a FFL, correct?  Even if the price is low ($49.99), doesn't the transfer fee wipe that out?  What am I missing?

Correct, the lower has to be shipped to a FFL for the transfer.  But the transfer fee is usually not high enough to wipe out the savings, at least on this deal.  I'm paying 20 for the transfer fee, and even found a place that was 15.  The cheapest I will find in town for a stripped lower is about 100.  I also added a complete lower build kit including stock for 80. So for 130+ shipping and transfer fee I will have a complete lower.  It works out to about 170 with the transfer. But, I also ordered more than one lower so that will make each one slightly cheaper also.

I am wondering if you all could get a bulk load and pay one FFL transfer.

I've heard of FFLs taking a little off for multiple transfers, but still charging for every one.

That gets them off the hook for the "straw purchase" charge.  The guy they're transferred to is responsible for handing them off to someone who can't legally own them!  :sry:

I think if you have a good relation ship with your gun dealer then your not gona get charged full boat if you buy multipal. If you dealer is charging the full $30-40 ea then you might as well buy some place else. OR you may want to make friends with a guy that has his FFL.  :twocents:

For the guys ordering, post when you get them I placed an order with Palmetto Dec 15th, they charged the CC at the order and I haven't seen it yet.  Pretty typical with these guys.

Well I ordered last Monday and haven't heard anything yet either.  Did you order the same lowers?

I ordered a bolt carrier group from them and it took 2 weeks total. It is for my 6-6.8 and it was only $119.00 plus shipping.
Not bad pricing and a touch long on time but  I wasn't in any kind of a hurry.

I ordered an upper from them about a month ago and it took them about 2-3weeks for me to get it a little long but I wasn't in a hurry so it didn't bother me

I put in 2 separate orders for about $1600 total. I got one of the orders last week and still waiting on the 1st one. I figured they were backlogged, the deals were pretty good.

I got my lowers today.  They called about a week ago and upgraded me to their lower instead of making me wait longer.
