    Now i'll have to plan another one......

    Went to Magpul's site to check on getting the OD Green trigger guard.... Didn't want to pay $6 shipping for a $9 part though. Ended up going ahead and getting a complete set of Foliage Green furniture too... MOE stock. MOE grip, trigger guard and carbine hand guard. Just to make the $75 for free shipping, got a pack of 3 foliage green mag dust covers too. I have a couple p-mags without dust covers anyway. The complete furniture set was $65 and some coins... Sheesh, go to buy a $9 part and end up spending about $78....

    Now I'll have to plan a rifle for the furniture. Guess I better start looking for another deal on another stripped lower receiver.

    Free shipping, it's a myth.

    Nope - bought $77.41 worth of stuff - all the Foliage Green at big discounts since they are discontinuing the color and just selling out what's in stock. Total was over $75 so the shipping was free.

    The discounts are good too. MOE milspec stock is 39.95 in any other color. 27.97 in foliage green. All their foliage green stuff is discounted 30%. Magpul also is having some deep discounts on MOE handguards since they are discontinuing the standard handguards and will sell only M-loc handguards. You can currently get the rifle length handguard for 19.95 - that's about a 50% discount. They only have black ones left now. Mid length handguards are also 19.95. They do have a few colors of those still but no black ones now.

    Cheapest MOE stock on Amazon is $37 and change. I just looked. Cheapest carbine handguard is $33

    I can turn around and sell the set on fleabay at a profit as soon as there's no more foliage green available.

    True! Actually, I just got a small contract for installing a couple CCTV security systems. I may very well sell the set of Magpul furniture in a few weeks when the color is all gone and get one of the barrels I need with the money.

    Hehe UWone - I just sold the complete carbine set for a $25 profit. Debating on whether to buy another complete set to hang on to for a while along with a couple of the Foliage Green P-mags that are on sale for $9 and change. Right now I've been searching around for a 8½" to 10" free float handguard at a reasonable price.
