Mag release lowers

I can’t get a complete lower shipped in Ca because the mag lock would have to be installed in it before shipping to me? Lame. I see that they sell complete lowers with the mag lock set up already, but I’m guessing that really limits my options unless I build my own stripped lower and add a mag lock? Fuck, this is frustrating! Fucking communists.

Dang that’s expensive. A complete lower Just like that a local gun shop puts together without that communist lock is $140

Just buy a stripped lower and a parts kit. Or check the local shops for a built lower.

Ok stripped lower from ~$100 to $150 that isn’t junk
Lowe parr’s kit ~$50 to $70
Buffer tube, buffer and spring ~$40
That cheap stock I dunno ~$20?
Hellfighter kit is ~$60

so considering it’s difficult to get anything right now that complete lower isn’t too terrible. I would still suggest finding a stripped lower but that’s just me

Ok, now that I have an idea of my options, I can start looking around at stripped lowers and start there I think. The parts can definitely add up when piecing together too and yeah the prebuilt one isn’t too bad price wise it seems. If I have too hard of a time finding a stripped lower in stock, I’ll either wait until the one I want is in stock or just switch it up and start shopping for the upper or whatever. I’m not in a hurry anyways. Thanks for the info.

Www.primaryarms.com is good and fast. Been my goto for parts. The budget line they feature a lot of is radical firearms. Surprisingly good quality for the price point. Once in a while they have specials on uppers ~$200 (no BCG/charging handle). Get on their mailing list and be patient

I have two trigger groups sitting in a drawer. You are welcome to one. Probably $4 to ship it.
Ohh by the @Itaro the LaRue MBT trigger is Mantequilla in the Grendel.
Because of you I’m looking at a linear compensator now ...

Lol. I found one the other day that allows you to use a comp when out and about but can thread the linear over the other one without removing it when at the range or not wanting to blast the guys next to you. It was in the middle of an insomnia minute . I remember it but fuck me if I can find it. I'll look for it late tonight and get back to you. Busy with my school girl DDcar. It's Britney Bitch.

Yeah I saw that one but it could be a 50/50 ending up with a trouble upper. I don't care about dings in the finish because I m going to duracote it. Some of the reviews are no bueno. Quality control must have been on a smoke break. It is the cheapest though.
Lol, well good guns ain’t cheap. I got an upper from them years ago and it’s serviceable.
