    Lowers are on order. Qtys are limited, so if you want to secure one, we can do deposits.

    Am i missing somthing? These lowers are $2000?!

    Why are complete 556 rifles only $1600 in the US? Surely a sig 546 could be sold at a reasonable profit for under $2k...

    The Sig 556 has a pretty bad reputation down south. , "too heavy compared to similar rifles" or even "unreliable POS". It depends who you talk to.
    If you're going through hell, keep going.

    Sure but the point is they make basically the same lower, include an upper, barrel, bolt etc. and manage to make a profit selling the whole works for $1600...

    I understand these lowers are made in Switzerland but I don't see how that makes it 2-3 x as good. Perhaps The Sig factory employs investment bankers as production line workers?

    I've overpaid for plenty of toys in my life, but $2000 for a lower is bloody retarded.

    If the lower is $2000, how much is a complete gun? Anyone know?

    Any updates on the cost of the complete uppers Justin?

    I can only hope that 4 months or so would have been sufficient time for them to give you guys an answer!

    Thanks

    Hey guys,

    Since Justin is no longer involved with this project, I will be looking into it and will update this thread with all the new info I can get.

    Thank for for your patience!
