    Default ar15 forging group buy?

    Just wondering if the mods or anyone else who is allowed could try for a group buy on ar15 forgings. We could do maybe a 0%-30%-80% unfinished lower group buy. Been wanting to machine one of these for a while. I would be up for 2-3 pcs depending which % lower we would go for.

    saw a place selling them a while back, looked maybe 80%, for 27 bucks, buy 3 and they were around 23 or 24 bucks. how much lower do you think you could get them as a group? maybe this company could give you a group discount.

    80% for 27 bucks?? Are you sure they weren't raw forgings for that price? I would jump on a bunch of those for that. Do you have the website??

    Need any licensing to go from 0% to 80% and then sell to others?

    Check out www.tacticalmachining.com 80%, have used a few, very good quality, can be finished with a drill press and jig, if you buy 5 $75.00 ea. maybe less if a larger number would have to call to find out, out of stock at the moment, I'm waiting to buy a few more.
    Sent a E-mail to the guys at Tac Mach, they won't have 80% lowers till early Sept, AR parts are in high demand and short supply!!!

    If they were priced reasonably, (doubt it), I'd be in for two.........
