Well, since you did ask...OK I give up - is this a poor deal? Or does everyone have all the AR's they need?
CDNN and Bud's are nearly impossible to compete with being a little guy (even a bigger shop). But, when you factor in FFL fees (depending on where you get your transfers done) and *supposed to pay taxes* you aren't always saving that much money. They mark up their guns by as little as 5% or less! But when you sell thousands, it adds up, I suppose.
Not the Same CDNN'S is the poly receiver the one I have is Aluminum, also has a free float hand guard but it doesn't matter perception is reality.
Hello Mr GreySmoke
Sorry I'm late to the thread, but if you'd still honor that $519 out the door price on the ATI I'd be excited to get in on that offer! I haven't owned an AR-15 in years, and as I am looking for an entry level rifle that I can build off of and customize it seems that this ATI is of good quality and value. I assume that this rifle will accept mil spec components and interchange with common ar parts (like trigger groups, barrels, etc.) If all is well and I can get this to my FFL (Central Texas Gunworks) for the advertised $519 otd total then I'd like to take you up on that. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you, have a wonderful weekend!
