Yeah.......I have seen the blems show up from time to time for around $40 before FFL fee........I think that is the direction I am going to go.......may end up waiting for a killer deal on a PSA upper.......maybe the "Freedom"......
Thanks for the post OP.........been toying with the idea of building an AR and only have a small budget to do it......this answers any questions about what lower to get.......may have to slow down and get quality as it goes on sale rather then buy what I can afford at this time..........
