EA ar's

[bush_hog]

Did I hear someone mention a good deal buy on EA ar's? any info on that rumor???

I compared the EA lower i just got to my BM and DPMS, i'd say quality is just as good,

The last time I purchased a round of EA lowers, the color was slightly off because I didn't go with the Tuff Coat and he was having problems with his Anodizer. I didn't really care about the color much because I purchased 3 lowers and got them at $77 each!

the lowers are excellent, I dont like the gray color most of them are though.

Anyone have a phone number or a website for ordering? Thanks

mine was as black as my bushmaster and DPMS

Has anyone seen their O.D. lowers? I'm wondering if his version of 'O.D.' matches up to Magpul's....

I'm trying to build a green rifle....since the term BUSHmaster is already taken, I'm calling it the SWAMPmaster...

So how difficult is it to purchase all the parts for making an ar-15?
Is there savings in doing so?

 

[topgunz1]

buying the parts isnt a problem at all, I havent done one yet but the bulding doesnt seem bad either. what I've found in my research is that if your building a standard base gun there isnt much savings, but if your going for a high end setup your saving alot by not buying twice.

I've started getting my uppers from here:
http://model1sales.com/index.cfm

have never had a problem. and they ship fast.

get a built lower, then an upper with bolt and charging handle, snap the two together. it's that easy.

I spent over a $1000 on my first AR b/c it was a complete bushmaster gun. never again. save a couple hundred buying upper and lower seperately.

$77 is that the going rate on these?

Yes.

And I have sat down with a set of calipers and measured these lowers. I compared them to two or three Major brand lowers and there was NO difference.
A lower is a lower and these are a great buy. It just depends how much you want to pay for a fancy engraving. IMHOP
You can get a LPK for another 35-60 bux if you shop around I don't see any difference in these either. A RRA trigger can be had for 75 bux if you need to step up.

How do you get em for 77?

The site list's $89 and says no pick ups... dod you have to pay tax?

 

[nola_]

if you're worried about a $12 difference, I might suggest you look into another gun. once you get it, you'll prob spend just as much on accessories.,

 

[SKYWLKR]

If I pick up 10 then that $120... plus another $11 for tax...

Been 3 months since I bought any, maybe their prices went up some.

 

[topgunz1]

I think the guy who said he got them for 77 bought several at once, volume discount?

 

[chibajoe]

EA prices have gone up, but they still are a bargain at $89. They're cheaper if you buy three or more, and they have kit packages that give you everything you need except the barrel. Functionally, they have always been excellent lowers, but they have historically had some finishing issues (tool marks, rough edges, etc.). They must have gotten some new mills in recently, however, because the last batch of lowers I got from them look a lot better than they used to look.

Group buy? I'm down for 1
