Palmetto State Armory is running their President’s Day Sale and one item caught my eye, their “Stealth” Complete AR-15 Lower for $199 and free shipping. You are probably paying at least $85 or more right now for just a stripped lower so for about double the price you get the entire lower with everything installed. Just get a complete upper of your choice, slap it on top and you are ready to go.
You can get a side charging Bear Creek complete upper for $340.99, also with free shipping, and have a complete AR-15 for a little over $500 which is a good deal in 2021, even though I am not a fan of BCA. If nothing else, if you get it and don’t like the combo the market for used ARs is red hot right now.
Unless I am very much mistaken, and I rarely am, you are going to be shit outta luck if you don’t own an AR and are thinking about getting one if you wait much longer. Some of the tacticool guys might sneer at you with a PSA lower and a BCA upper but better the AR you have than the AR you wish you could afford to buy.
