Proud father of 4 new girls... Turns out sometimes when you let a rifle and a spare upper sit next to each other in the safe, they shag like rabbits.

Ha like he caught above those are NFA plastic lowers.
I finished my armorers class a few weeks ago and really wanted to build a new AR. Well I've been having problems sourcing the parts I want at the prices I want, and while shopping came across these "improved" Plum Crazy lowers. I had no interest in one for myself but for maybe my .22 upper... then when I saw how cheap these were I started shopping around for a source on some uppers. Fat Boy Tactical made me a deal on four 1:7 M4 uppers and next thing you know I'm building my dad and two brothers AR-15's for Christmas. I really wanted to build these from scratch but you just can't compete with some of the prices of the already assembled stuff unless you are building a custom rifle or really patient watching sales and bargain bins. Built these with the sight handle and a window PMAG (thanks to INEEDMOREGEAR) for about $520 each. So my GF sees me buying this stuff and I get "hey did you ever think I might want one for Christmas too?" So that makes four. It's going to be fun paying off that credit card for the next 6 months, and now I have to find something big to buy for my mom and daughter since they didn't want an AR of their own. 
The fifth is my 3-gun rifle... CMMG M4LEPII w/ Samson 7-EX hand guard and Nikon M223 3-9 scope, Vltor E-Mod butt stock. I love how these cheepies look in my safe though... Going to be very hard to pull them out in December to wrap them.

Excelent reason to build 4 of the same

I like the floral furniture in the background, adds to the badassery of the images. but to repeat notPolyTek, looks like you could've used the $$ for training with 3, or 2, or maybe just your original AR, but thats just my opinion Well I thought about it like this... even with the guns I own, if unwrapped a Hi-Point 9mm or a GSG .22 MP5 with a fake can on it... I'd be ecstatic that someone bought me a gun for Christmas. And since there was no way I could afford to buy 4 stripped $1000 rifles for Christmas, and giving someone half of a AR-15 didn't seem fair, I figured these four people who all own guns but have never owned an AR-15 would be happy getting a ready to rock $500 gun that that though plagued with a bad stigma will likely out live there infrequent handling and pinking. And if they do end up wanting to use it more seriously, they already have a pretty good upper that could be mated to a lower of their choosing at a later date. |
