icarus 3 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Been awhile since I posted. Looking at purchasing some AR kits wholesale in bulk for resale. I can pickup AR15, AR10, AR9, & AR45 kits rifle or pistol pretty cheap but do to cash flow and minimum purchase quantities have to chose one or the other for now. All the kits come with M-lok or Key Mod rails. Want to know what you guys think I should get? Which are you most interested in? Retail prices would be about: AR45 Pistol with Shockwave Brace and 9.5" barrel - $475 AR45 80% lowers run $120 no finish and $160 Black Cerakote. Glock Mag compatible. AR9 Pistol with Shockwave Brace and 7.5" barrel $370 AR9 80% lowers run $66 no finish and $110 Black anodized. Glock Mag compatible AR9 Rifle with 6 position generic stock and 16" brl $390 AR10 Rifle with 6 pos generic stock & 20" stainless brl $525 AR10 80% lowers run $85 no finish $100 black anodized. For the AR9s I can do colt mag compatible which will work on any AR15 receiver and come with a mag adapter for $60 more. For an conversion kit that would work great but colt mags are more than Glock or generic Glock mags. Also which would prefer M-lok or Key Mod? Thanks for any input.

netpackrat 566 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Get M-Lok, totally superior to keymod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icarus 3 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Forgot regular AR kits. AR15 pistol with shockwave & 10.5" / 7.5 brl OR rifle with 16" would be around $380. Can also do 223 wylde for the same price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,930 Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 What Salty said. Plus I could go on BCA or Davidson, or right to bear, and ~match your prices while seeing pics of the parts, and knowing they would take care of me if I got a bad part. The other thing is that these things are so fashion driven. Today's $800 pile of parts is next year's $80 pile of parts. See comment about keymod above. If you aren't certain of moving your inventory instantly, you are basically certain of either selling it at a huge loss, or having them in your garage forever. No one wants your KAC quad rail that you paid several hundred dollars for, even at $60, given that you can get an actual nice M-lok forend now for as cheap as $29. - I actually have one of those. I've seen a few guys get their dd form 265 and open a gun store to fund their hobby, buy a bunch of what they like, at a few percent under retail, then have the multiples sit on their shelves for a year or two before they close up shop. It's like being an Amway rep. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
