Windham Weaponry is just as good, if not better, and are sold at a significantly lower price point. The Colt namesake ain't what it used to be. I stocked up on 80% lowers when they were cheap and plentiful. As far as builds- I roll my own. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greenday 323 Posted July 20, 2020 Feels like just yesterday I was listening to people argue whether it was worth it to reload 9mm. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squaregrouper 33 Posted July 20, 2020 Well, I'm now saving 9mm brass, which wasn't even a blip on my radar 6 months ago. If I get below 10k live rounds before the market opens back up, I will buy 9mm dies. If I get below 5k rounds I will actually start loading the round.

RUTGERS95 889 Posted July 20, 2020 I definitely want to get into reloading. I have 5 buckets of brass (9mm, 308, 5.56) from Oct till now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveR 42 Posted July 20, 2020 A little late to be thinking of getting into reloading, powder and primers are as scare as unicorns. I don't see this correcting until Trump gets re elected. Don't even want to think about the alternative. I've cut back on range time, instead of throwing lead and copper it feels more like gold. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are talking about lead wheel weights. On the other hand, some people don't regularly stock up on anything. We always have a good stock of necessities (this includes TP) so we weren't concerned about running out of anything. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 889 Posted July 21, 2020 we keep ample supplies of everything on hand. In fact, the only shopping we've done is for milk, bread, eggs, and the like. I haven't even dipped into my powdered eggs/milk supplies lol In another month or so, we'll need to restock but not too bad since March 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackDaWack 2,894 Posted July 21, 2020 Why would anyone stock up on 80% lowers? I literally bought a bunch of finished lowers cheaper than any 80%'s I could find. 80% are nothing more than a gimmick or a way for people to own guns who cant legally buy them. You end up with a lower that cost you more, and is probably out of spec. The only thing I cant find right now for reloading is primers, I can source literally anything at normal price. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate the offer, I have plenty of primers for right now, but i keep my eye out to see what the trends are. I would say that everything is going to start to get worse as reloading components lag ammo shortages. When stock came back after 2012 I invested in a few 5k boxes for each caliber. I've barely touch them since ammo has been cheap. Primers are too cheap not to stock up on when available. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 2016, one could buy six 80% lowers for $150 delivered. On a good day, an Anderson completed lower is $40-$50. I like 80% lowers because the a-holes working in Analpolis (sic) are on a non stop run to ban everything they possibly can. They can't confiscate what they don't know exists and there isn't a 7 day wait to buy an 80%. FWIW- Marylandistan does have a database of everything purchased on a form 77r (MD's state version of a 4473) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have since donated all my 80%'s to out of state friends, never got a chance to mill one out, my friend in PA has a milling machine. Either way, I never found 80% lowers that cheap. Do you recall who sold 6 for 150? I recall deals of like $600 for 6 including the jig. I bought a 3 pack from the cheapest place I could find and it was like $240, this was right around 2016 too. I bought 3 aero precision lowers for the same price. Which is astronomically cheaper considering them time still needed to finish the. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUTGERS95 889 Posted July 22, 2020 you can still get Anderson lowers for less than 50. My sons and I just put their ARs together using Anderson no logo receivers, Anderson LPK, Anderson Upper, BA pencil barrels and rails from righttobear. I have to say, I've only ever used Colt, DD or Aero LPK but the Anderson seem fine thus far and the trigger is actually pretty good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't remember the company- it was one of the dozens of websites with "80% lower", "80 percent lowers" "Best 80% lowers", etc. I DO have the specifics of when we found Polymer80 G19/G23/G32 for $75 shipped.

45Doll 5,842 Posted July 23, 2020 "Expected availability: 8/10/2020" Although they 'won't charge your credit card until the item ships". Fair enough. .24/round is a very fair price in this market.

chocodove 65 Posted July 23, 2020 I’ve tried ordering ammo from Sportsman’s Guide three times since March fully knowing they were back ordered and an “expected availability” date way down the road. First it was April, then June, then August, then November, and then they just canceled my orders. I give up with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midway had some .45 ACP Blazer Brass for 36cpr earlier this week. That went fast. My LGS has American Eagle TMJ for 26cpr but will only sell you two boxes at a time max.
