And just move bulk heavily discounted View Quote Just as an example, I just checked some stuff out over at SAW's site. You can get a nice stripped Colt "M4 Carbine" marked lower for the everyday low price of only $495. If that's too cheap for you, maybe check out their A1 pistol grips to go along with that new lower. They're only $150. Maybe I'll grab two for that price! |

SAW is just stuck in another time and they have just refused to adapt. I remember his booth at gun shows years ago - when they were pretty much the only game in town when it came to Colt parts and could more or less charge whatever they wanted. Those days are over... apparently someone forgot to inform them, lol.
Really not even sure how they stay in business. |

View Quote But then you have guys comparing firearms/uppers/ parts as a whole, across the industry. They use competitor pricing, which will drive down the price. I think if enough guys do this, it would easily take SAW out of the market. The part I struggle with, I personally look at how much I paid for something and that tells me how good it is. I know this isn't always the case, but if you wouldn't touch an Aero lower for free and would buy a $300 stripper lower, you're like me haha. Sometimes price tricks us into thinking quality. I have a hard-on for roll marks, even if that same blank lower was stamped some non-militray brand Id think its crap but put Colt on it and its gold lol. Funny how this all works. |

Without blood, it doesn't count!
"A gun, like any other source of power, is a force for good or evil, being neither in itself, but dependent upon those who possess it." |
Geissele starting to offer complete rifles. I expect they will eventually offer the URG-I as well. The article mentions the coated-BCG they've been developing.

Talked to him once or twice at shows, but that's about it; he didn't really make an impression one way or the other. Well, as if anyone needed it, there is one more reason not to give that ripoff artist any business. Also kinda funny reading the "computer nerd" comments.
