This is also my argument every time I see Colt lowers available in the $300 range, but it is also why we are probably seeing so many sales in Colt lowers now too. Dealers are probably realizing they are worth more split up.
$650 rifle or...
$350 lower
$400 upper
Right, but a $300 Colt upper is a no-brainer. The OEM is a much better deal.
