Who stocks reasonable priced AR stripped lowers?

Recommended Posts

In or around central Jersey? I'm not into the High shelf, special flavor of the week lowers.  Just mil spec forged 7075, Black Hardcoat Anodize that I wont have to pay the transfer fee on, making it worth the same as a high shelf lower. Something around $100 or less.

Steve is top notch... I usually call before I go, just to make sure he will be there. His new shop is easy to find, but also easy to miss when going down rt 1. If you miss the entrance, no big deal. The next exit is a shopping center. You can turn in there and cut back to Steve's place. Enjoy the conversation!

If you are coming from the North & goin south on 9 then you need to look for the Kohl's store on your left as the landmark. It's the next mini strip mall after Kohl's so you would want to wrap around on Union Hill Rd EAST and jump on 9 North. When you see the signs for the restaurant, The Oriental Pan Asian that's the building. Doorway entrance by Bartram Rd.

 

If you overshoot then turn in to Kohls and wrap around like Sharrie*1 mentioned and exit between Kohls and Staples that road will also be Bartram then the lot aross the street it the building you want.

 

Steve/ Monmouth Arms rocks......

And as is customary for such restaurants in Jersey, right next door to the pet store.

$55 +tax is about the best you can do with FFL involvement. Getting from local dealer stock/forum member is gravy.

Yes, Steve is on route 9...thanks kc17 for correcting me. For some reason, I always confuse the two.

 

Anyhow, Steve didn't pay me to advertise for him...He actually schooled me. I purchased 4 Anderson lower receivers at Fatboy Tactical and had them shipped to Steve (Monmouth Arms) for transfer. Steve did the math for me while I was there. And, although my initial price was less, by the time I paid the transfer fee, I paid a couple bucks more each, and Steve had them in stock, no waiting.

 

BTW, I have built 2 of the 4 that were transferred, and I have no complaints about their quality or fit and finish. In the past I have spent $200 for a stripped lower, trying to get the best available. Today, when I do a build, I tend to save the money that I have spent on the high dollar lower and put it into a nice trigger or an upgrade to the barrel...Just my opinion...

Thanks Sharrie, thats exactly why I want to find a local dealer that stocks a lower like the Anderson. It just needs to go bang when I want it to. I have very low expectations. Other then cosmetics, please, someone school me on what difference it really makes? Mil-spec +or -???

 I admit I have been know to buy something for just the way it looks. My Dodge truck for example...lol :maninlove:

No need to pay us! Good service and great stories are why I keep on going back. It has nothing to do w/ the fact that he's only 15 mins from me....lol.

 

Hes's transferred my lowers, hand guns, long gun. Done AR compliance work. Hmmmm what else am I missing??

To make this story even better I wasn't intending to use him initially but some other FFL in the area no names mentioned had problems w/ his license and referred me to Steve and the rest is history.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
