Default Prices going lower?

Hey all,

Did a check at Midway today and a complete carbine upper with bcg $219?! I have one of these and it shoots well. Have a few 16" pistol length 300 BO uppers coming w/o bcg, $199 and $179, just picked up 2 Anderson stripped lowers for $49 ea from Turners, I'm a happy clam!

PSA has had as many as five or six barreled uppers at a time as daily deals for $159.99 shipped free. Looks like they have three right now - two 1:8 and a 1:7 all 16".

They have some CHF FN barreled uppers under $300 and a 20" CHF with BCG under $400 shipped free.

Complete basic 18" PA-10 uppers WITH .308 BCG's under $300 shipped.

Many free floated uppers seem down about $100 compared to last year.

Also PSA has 223 Wylde 18" with bcg, mlok and sights for $319, that is cheap!

There is a glout of AR stuff.

and barely anyone is buying.

All the panic buying in the year leading up the elections thinking that Hillary would win has satisfied most people who would be buying now.

kinda like how most smart CA gun owners are buying ammo by the cases. come next year, a lot of ammo is just gonna sit on the shelves.

No doubt the "ammo wammo" is coming, trying to decide what to spend at the OC gun show on ammo. It looks like they are having the show three months in a row.

These are not rough tossed around dented up blems either... that stainless is perfect. Fit and finish looks great.

I've only handled one PSA kit, the barrel was CHF by FN. The fit and finish was spot on. It made me second guess why I spent so much to build my Stag 2T.

I love psa prices and number of choices. Every time I order from them, I remember why I hate them--shipments are like 2-4 weeks out. Well I don't hate em. But it does get frustrating... lol

I got my last order inside a week
The order prior to that was also inside a week
Both were under 'free shipping' special of some sort

It might be because they aren't selling as much as they used to.

I don't mind waiting for shipping at places...There's plenty of other things to have fun with while you wait. I usually order something completely forget about it then when I get a box I'm like oh yeah..It's a sign of ordering way too much stuff on a daily basis lol

Yeah my recent two uppers took a week or so. Matter of fact, they processed to ship the day after the order and seven days later were at my door. These were separate orders too - different days this month. Both shipped next day, delivered seventh day.

Stock is up prices are down and a lot of people have what they need. Ammo is going to go back up for the last 4 months I'm sure , but black Friday is going to be crazy on ar stuff I bet!
