Stripped Blemished AR-15 Upper Receiver
I'm hoping prices are good when tax time gets here. Im going to stock up on ammo and AR parts.
"Character is doing the right thing even when no one is watching"
I'd piece it with that budgetMaybe like $800?
Direct link to the PSA Black Friday upper page?
The OP does pose something to think about. So I brought it with DH yesterday evening.
I saw several schools of thought on the actions of folks selling items during the panic. There were several setups. Some guys liquidated items they had collected over years in the hobby. Some guys bought multiple items during the panic in order to flip. The overall theme though was folks grilling others for "profiteering". Some big businesses got their butts handed to them when they raised prices. Customers called them out and then boycotted because they made a big profit and were accused of leaving customers out to dry. Or accused of eating their own because they 'forced' customers to buy a Pmag for ten times the price during non-panic times.
Do folks still feel the same way now that there is a little distance from the heat of the panic?
YES
A more provocative question, would you buy up extra items to keep strictly for the purpose of resale next time around?
NOT STRICTLY FOR RESALE PURPOSES BUT MIGHT DO SOME SELLING IF IT WERE TO HIT THE FAN AGAIN.
Do you have an opinion on those who would?
BETTER WATCH THEIR BACK WITH THE ATF IF COLLECTING ACTUAL FIREARMS SPECIFICALLY FOR RESALE.
PARTS/COMPONENTS; MORE POWER TO THEM.
If you bought extra items now would they be kept for personal use and not sold in the next panic?
YES
And an off the wall question, how many have actually started reloading like they said they would?
I HAVE RAMPED UP MY RELOADING SIGNIFICANTLY. PRIOR TO THE LAST PANIC I WAS RELOADING ONLY TO BUILD PRECISION ROUNDS FOR MY CUSTOM RIFLES.
How can an upper be considered "complete" if it does not come with a BCG or charging handle?
Wasn't yelling, just used caps to separate my answers from your questions.

Definitely^^^^Personally, I am buying first to complete a few projects that where on hold. However, I am also buying to ensure that on the next go round of proposed legislation, I don't have that feeling of "I should have bought this when I could." I am also buying what I can to secure the future of my collection for my daughter and her children, e.g. replacement parts, mags, etc.

i think it's interesting that you put the word "forced" in quotes as if someone claimed they were forced to buy anything. If that is where you stand on the subject you completely miss the point if why people were upset with a company for pulling products from the shelf and holding them until demand increased and then raising the price 1000%. To me it seems like your wording was an attempt to invalidate the opinions of those who disagreed with the practice while misunderstanding the reasoning behind that opinion.

I do
A more provocative question, would you buy up extra items to keep strictly for the purpose of resale next time around?
No, more interested in increasing my personal collection.
Do you have an opinion on those who would?
Less sleazy than buying up at a good price during a limited supply strictly for the purpose of selling it at double the price to the guy behind you in line

Didn't you already ask this question?
