I got a phone call this afternoon from my gunsmith/friend. Keep in mind, he's in his 80's, LOL! But seems he's at our gun club and has locked his keys in the truck. He has a spare in his wallet but its in the truck also. And so is his cell phone. So he borrows his buddies cell and calls me for some help. Now its a 15-20 mile drive to the club from my place so I head that way. When I get there he was going to call his wife before she went shopping but can't remember her cell phone number. Anyway, we head back to town, get to his house and wifey isn't home yet. While we are waiting, he gives me 100 once fired R-P 6mm Remington cases which I dearly needed. Wife shows up, grabs his spare keys and we head back to the club. We get to the club and get him unlocked and ready to leave and ask me if I had any use for an AR 15 upper?? IDK, what do you want for it? He said $50 and I'll buy your lunch. Heck of a deal. Now I have an upper (minus a bolt and charging handle) and absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with it. But it was an interesting afternoon.
Not being an avid AR guy I'm thinking buy some not so high quality parts and making a SHTF rifle. No optics, just open sights. A store in Tulsa has complete lowers for $119, bolt for around $80 plus a charge handle. Up and running for $250ish.
