BUT LOOKING FOR 2,000 AND NOT TRAVELING FOR THIS PRICE

Few years ago during the panic I paid $ 115 for a stripped Anderson Lower.

Right after Sandy Hook I had all the parts for my first AR lower build except the receiver: I paid close to 150 bucks for a GAADM stripped lower....that was a piece of crap, not finished correctly, out of spec...I use it as a dedicated pistol lower. ..and by that I mean I never use it.

I'm sure I overpaid for a few items, but I'm pretty frugal. But I sold the heck out of stuff during the Obama panics. I just had to share this one. This one actually made me feel bad.

On the ARF site I sold a master case of milsurp mags in bundles of 10 shipped for $325 each. The buyers were ecstatic to get them so cheap.

My first AR, Windham MPC after tax $950... Fell for the company name thing but then found "commercial buffer tube" 1:9 cheap barrel, nothing but average mil spec parts... The saving grace is their warranty, QC, and customer service. I've had it for years and the stripped upper, lower, bcg, barrel are the only orig parts on it now and I have WAY more in it than I could ever get out of it.

Still, it's mine, I learned, and I'll keep it.

Right after the AWB passed in the early 90's, I paid $399 + tax for a Ruger P89 with 2 15rd magazines. I've never bought anything else at "panic prices" since.

So traded two AR's for a 1927 Thompson and two weeks later Sandy Hook so missed out on that one...

Paid close to 12-hunnerd for an SVT-40 but at the time absolutely had to have it. Figured one day I could make my money back but it would be some time.

Mehh paid more then that for mine and have never regretted it. But it was still in cosmoline and has a beautiful tiger strip stock.
