Odds of finding AR parts?

[dmfisher71]

i know that Bite The Bullet just north of Seymour has Wilson Combat LPK and an Upper parts kit w/charge handle and they have a Wilson stripped upper for $110

Do this

Midwayusa.com has DPMS LPKs in stock, for $59. I ordered one yesterday, and it shipped this morning.

I don't know where you are, Miketodd, but unless you live right across the street from the 1500, have some reason to wait for the show, or you really like rubbing butts with smelly guys in camo, I'd suggest you save the gas $$, the parking $$, the entry $$ and do this! If you order it right now, you may have it by the weekend. Certainly by early next week. Probably for less $$, too.

Well I'm riding down with a buddy from work. He is going regardless so I'm just bumming a ride. I've never been and usually work the weekends it is around.

there usually are a handful of vendors whom sell LPK that i know of, also sell individual part like detents and springs. Hopfully those prices are not to outrageous.

I need to pick up a muzzle brake at the show and wouldn't mind a free float 12" quad rail. We shall see whats available.

There will be plenty of AR parts at the 1500. The question will be at what inflated price will everyone want to sell them for.

I've got a stripped lower and my brother-in-law has a few. We are headed down to look for LPKs, uppers, etc. I am thinking hard about doing an AR pistol. Do you think at least the LPKs will be really high priced? I have never been to the 1500 so just wanting to get everyones 's.

Richard's Guns has some lower parts kits for sale. He's a guy that does transfers and sells a little also.

The crazy wave is crashing... Expect crazy inflated prices on most everything. if nothing else I'm sure there will be plenty of common small parts.

I was in Georgia last week and couldn't find a single shop with any ar or ar lowers. I'm thinking prices are going to be high at the 1500.

I'm trying to build an AR15 and was going to head down to the 1500 and try to find some deals. But after reading this I dont think I'm going to waste my time with it, I'll just order from Midway.

I am guessing anything there will likely be priced pretty steep. I imagine some shops will have some at reasonable price, but will be VERY limited and sold out within minutes. Just speculating, but I would imagine that if any shop has them in stock they would not take too much up in order to keep the local and regular customers happy, but like I said, they will probably bring some if they have any to spare. All speculative and a lot of IFs involved. Would not go to the 1500 if that was what I hoped to find though.

I read that shows are seeing record attendance. I feel it will definitely be a sellers market!

Midway, as of last week, is no longer accepting back orders on most AR parts. I see on my back order for a DPMS upper, Midway is now estimating June 1st for in stock status.

Bradis had some individual parts Saturday

 

[RGriff69]

Big Daddy's has a bunch of lpk's AND a few complete lowers

 

[Maximinus Thrax]

I was at the Ft. Worth Tx gun show last week and they had plenty of parts for sale. The prices were enough to make me cry but they were there... I imagine the same scenario for the 1500

 

[Nitehunter500]

Sat i could have bought 3 doublestar lpk for $70 each

 

[urban]

I have been waiting on very basic parts for the past three weeks.

 

[toomuchfun57]

Stag Arms had some @ $59 and I think Palmetto had some MOE for $79

 

[Waveraider]

I sold a Double Star LPK and used 5 pos stock for 90 bucks to some guy 10 feet inside the door. I'm thinking he was a vendor looking for deals. That's all I was asking for them anyway, but would have rather seen someone doing a build get them.
