CGN Dealer Offerings - AR15s

Shelldrake said:
Before this CGN site came up with the sponsored Dealers thing,, I didn't know we had so many AR15 options avail to us in Canada. I have had a look through the CGN Dealers that have AR15 offerings with prices on their websites and there are some very, very good kit with some very good prices. These are my observations.

1. Lowers
a. Stripped Lowers
Armalite/EE from Wolverine: 238.50
RRA from Questar: 269.00
Bushmaster from Questar: 329.00
Stag Arms from ArmsEast: ??,, broken link.

b. Lower Parts Kit
Armalite/EE from Wolverine: 109.70
RRA from Questar: 115.00
Stag Arms from ArmsEast: ??,, broken link.

c. Complete Lower
Stag Arms from ArmsEast: 395.00
Armalite/EE from Wolverine: 420.00
RRA from Questar: 429.00

2. Uppers
a. A4 Configuration
RRA From Questar: 709.00
Armalite from Wolverine: 895.00
Stag Arms from ArmsEast: 940.00 (includes A3 carry handle/site)

3. The full smash,, a complete Rifle
a. A4 configuration
RRA from Questar: 1239.00 (flat-top config only,, no carry handle/site)
Stag Arms from Questar: 1495.00 (with A3 carry handle site)
Armalite from Wolverine: ??,, couldn't find a price on the web site.

4. Conclusions
a. This is not a scientific comparison or anything,, but given that RRA, Armalite and Stag Arms products are all comparable in quality, these are my observations/conclusions.
- If I was looking to put together a lower,, I would go with the Armalite kit and stripped lower from Wolverine Supplies. Total cost of 348.20.
- If I was looking for a lower that is already good to go,, I would get a Stag Arms from Arms East. Total cost of 395.00.
- If I was looking for a complete A4 rifle and wasn't concerned with a mismatched upper/lower,, I would get a complete Stag Arms Lower from ArmsEast and match it up with a RRA upper from Questar. Total cost of an amazingly low 1104.00.
- If wanted a complete A4 from one manufacturer,, I would get the RRA Standard A4 from Questar. It even comes with a 2 stage match trigger all for 1239.00!! That is an amazing price.

Having a look at all the above,, the next AR15 I would consider buying would be a RRA from Questar and would look something like this:
- stripped lower: 269.00
- lower parts kit with NM trigger: 249.00
- A4 upper, with .223 Wylde Chamber, 20" Wilson Air-Gauged Stainless Steel Barrel, 1:8 Twist: 789.00
- Grand Total: 1307.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm finding it very difficult not to call my order in right now. These prices just seem too low. Maybe I'm just dreaming all this,,

GREAT THREAD... OR great OP.

I think we should do this with AMMO, Glock prices, etc....

That is what forums are about!
 
I'm kind of old school and dont feel secure buying over the net, is there anywhere i can find a Retailer in the GTA?
 
wolverine doesnt sell lpk for $109 anymore....now its with 2 stage trigger for $180.

where can i buy this lower parts kit for $99?
 
I haven't read through this whole thread.... but has anyone here picked up one of the AR platforms from Blue Line Activities?? Some very nice kit coming from them as well .

I'll be straying away from my M14 addiction and will be in the market for an AR for tac rifle events....... I'm leaning towards Blue Line but Armseast is on my list as well.....
 
For those unsure about assembling their own lowers from a parts kit, here is a great illustrated guide:

(I didn't go all the way back through this thread. If this was posted already, please disregard).

I'm building or buying an AR next month and was a little intimidated by the contents of the lower parts kit, but this cleared a few things up for me.
