Aero Precision hikes prices on stripped lowers

So it looks like in the US, Aero Precision is now asking $200 for stripped lowers. These were previously available here in Canada for something like $149 pre-Sandy-Hook-insanity. I forget exactly what they were going for in the US at the time but I'm pretty sure it was significantly less than $149. Not sure what this is going to translate to exactly in terms of Canadian pricing.

Not sure if other manufacturers plan to follow suit but it's perhaps an indication of things to come.

They are nice lowers, ide get another 1 but I think I'm going to get something diferent just for some variery.

They had some insane prices for 3 packs in the states, 3 for $200 at one point

 

[badboybeeson]

so they have gone from $79 for $200 ....
AP lowers are not worth 200

and pmags are not worth $50-100, yet supply and demand makes them that much unfortunately

Geez...if this keeps up AR's (in general) will be worth their weight in gold...(now where's that dancing banana...ahh, here it is...)

Ouch, glad I got mine from the current batch at SGW. Anybody want to bet that none of these price hikes get rolled back 100% after the frenzy is over down south?

Ya I've been looking to build up my AR but everything is out of my price range(I'm cheap!)

They have been selling their lowers for $200 since Christmas, I follow them on Facebook. Reading the comments is hilarious, people are spazzing about it. Supply and Demand people.

The spazzing is going to reach whole new levels around here, people have no idea how things use to be and will be for a while because of what has happened down South lately...
