A sign of the times? MCSports has stripped lowers now!

So I stopped by to look and talk with Mr. Stipp @ Bloomington's MCSports and what are they carrying now: Bushmaster and Doublestar stripped AR-15 lowers!

I was shocked and talked with him about it and the theory is that right now most sales are black rifles and they are testing the lowers market. The stock is small, but still, I was surprised. A big box store with stripped lowers....

Go figure!

Not that great/bad:

Doublestar $119
Bushmaster $199

The Bushmaster was packerized, the doublestar was smooth. I almost bought up the doublestar (no shipping, etc) but just sold an Ak to pay bills, so I am on parole with the family finances right now...

If they think they are going to get $199 for a stripped Bushy lower, they must be smokin' the good stuff....

ETA: I guess $199 is about the going price for a Bushy, but I wouldn't pay that for one...

Yeah, we talked about that. Looking side by side there is a slight difference beyond coating, but nothing worth $80. I would not pay $199 for a lower, well not today. A few years from now given election results and....

Good to see them selling lowers, but that Bushy seems a bit expensive to me.

On a side note, you ever get the 9mm AK fixed Josh? Also, you happen to see any used/cheap 22s there? Been trying to make it out there, but I've got a crap ton to do. Thanks

I like spending money at places that have things like this because none of the shops around here have stripped receivers. Maybe I'll pop in a grab a doublestar.

Does anyone know why some of their stores carry firearms and ammo and others don't?

AAC in Moorseville periodically gets stripped lowers. They usually have DPMS and/or Sabre Defense. The Sabres are pretty (awesome finish, though might be hard to match).
