Looks like Buds and grabagun dropped the price another $100!

You can now buy one for ~$550. Same links as in the OP.

I have to admit, I'm a little pissed since I already bought one at $650.

Oh well...what can you do?

Don't laugh - but the thought did seriously cross my mind.

My guess is that one of the big distributors is quietly dumping inventory via grabagun and buds, so as to not antagonize retail channels that are stocking the SKU at ( MSRP-minor discount) prices.

Midway is still offering these for $1080, in stock and ready to ship!

I *am* tempted to buy another at $550.

funny... i picked up a 16 inch 300 blk barrel from brownells for $149. retail$449
comes with tube and block also.. i believe a mid length

two weeks ago i saw a 16 300 blk pistol lenth for $129

both true AAC barrels.. although someone did question if AAC made a 16 inch pistol length.

they sold out so fast i didnt have time to post the deal

but even if you built it to the same specs as this upper with the barrel for that price. you would see that this upper is still cheaper.
one hell of a deal people.

but i am sure everyone is broke from all the deals that hit last month.
palmetto took a lot of my christmas money

^^^ this and Opportunity Cost. I was a Finance Major in school. Plus, this helps me justify every gun-related purchase, especially when I buy multiples of the same item.

Hmm I have a extra lower. I've just never messed with 300 black out. What advantage does 300 have?

I know with all the crap I have I've never checked it out lol.

Must resist

Thanks OP, always wanted to try 300blk and now I will.

Thanks OP

OK, so I feel like the guy in the room who doesn’t get the joke. Why was that funny, or, in this case, why is everyone so nuts over .300 AAC Blackout? I am really really quite confused by the widespread infatuation with the cartridge, and I really don’t get it even after owning and shooting the round.
