I have seen some awesome mega builds but I never really figured out where you buy the parts.
Before the Obama scare and Frankenstein Feinstien and Company scare you could get the parts from several places but right now there is not a lot out there at a reasonable price. I was talking to my buddy that is a LGS dealer here that is now one of the larger dealers in Oklahoma and he can't get anything. He sold over 200 ARs last week in various calibers except one--the Colt 901 he is holding for me. It i good to know a dealer before he is a dealer. In fact last week I started Christmas vacation on Wed. and worked for him on Wed afternoon through Sat. It was basically a down payment on the 901. Good thing I have a couple extra 20 rd Pmags sitting at home.............people are asking and getting a 200 bucks for them. There is not even a ban but people have gone insane. I can get by on 5 mags for now, or once I get the rifle. Hell I might even have enough other mags left over through the years to do some trading LOL.
