One of the AR’s that I ordered in late November arrived today. Finally.

The price on the invoice? $740 for this particular gun. As I told the lucky bastard that ordered it, I could sell it today for almost twice that. In fact, I was hoping he had developed some sort of financial crisis and would be unable to take delivery…but, no, he came and picked up his new toy. Oh well…next batch has two of ‘em in there just for me…one complete flattop like the onle above, the other is a flattop but with a sight tower on the front. However, this little goody did show up with the rifle and its all mine:

This little guy goes into the gun safe ‘just in case’. Price? When I ordered it back in November, $85. They routinely sell for over $200 at gun shows around here. I have three more of them on the way for myself.

So…that was about 16 weeks. And that was before they started telling everyone ’six months’. Fortunately, the rest of the parts to put the lowers together, and the uppers themselves, are unrestricted (at the moment) and won’t require anything more complicated than a phone call and a credit card.

How many rifles does that give us? Well, more than Sarah Brady but less than Ted Nugent. Leave it at that.
