.308 AR Lower Receivers

I was in shock when I clicked that link. I knew they were more expensive, but not how much more. What is the reasoning behind the huge gap in prices for the lowers?

Popularity mostly. It's usually cheaper to buy an AR10 than build one. Expect to spend $1,200.

Ouch.

They are still more than 10 times cheaper.

Seriously so G3 mags are less than 1$ to your door ? I really doubt that, I know they're cheap and all but no need to exagerate.

I'm just saying it's probably a neglible difference at this point. OK maybe depending on how many mags you want, but I figure most ppl don't need more than 10 mags, so I don't see a reason to pursue a G3 lower is all i was saying.

Yes, they are $0.99 at CTD, and I've bought them as cheap as $0.79 last September. The most you see them is around $1.98. They are aluminum and literally weigh nothing, you can easily knock an ounce or two off your rifle weight.

I got a box of 50 aluminum g3 mags for like $80 direct from ptr91 last year.

do you know the material from which USGI 20-rd and 30-rd magazine bodies have been manufactured for decades?

HK quality, never had a single problem with them. They are stamped aluminum body with a stainless follower.
