TGO Lowers "what your going to build" "how to build" General discussion thread

[Luke E.]

So no 6061 tubes even if their on sale ?

I wouldn't be scared to run either of them personally but then again I'm not in the desert being shot at and that would make a huge difference to me.

[Fourtyfive]

Thought this was a pretty good deal , but with a 6061 tube ......http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ar-15-05/lower-parts/build-kits/psa-str-lower-build-kit.html

 

Went ahead and ordered one.....

.458 is what got me started reloading. I can afford hand loads. Rightwinger sez the .458 does a number on deer... "Kills 'em dead". :)

Hogs have a pretty severe allergy to the .458, too.

Yep. There's some good footage on one of the Sons of Guns episodes. Will popped a big ole hog with a 500 grain subsonic. Killed him dead.

Midlength blem deal from PSA, $550.

 

This, your TGO lower, and some reasonably priced sights and you're in biz with a fine AR for under 8 bills counting shipping/FFL and everything.

That is an incredible deal. If you jump on that along with the $60 lower they had a deal on you would have a sub-$650 brand new AR. Anyone in the market for a new AR should be jumping on this.

The video on the cmt site shows ar lowers anodized in several colors, but didn't see any text describing that option available, but maybe missed it. There was black, red, and a couple other colors. In the stack was a silver colored one, but dunno if that is a raw metal receiver or a natural-aluminum colored anodize.

A natural anodized lower and upper with stainless barrel and bolt might be kewl. Or red anodized upper and lower plus stainless. Somebody mentioned wood furniture, that might be interesting to make grips and stock out of oak, walnut or even box elder or maple. Box elder seems "fairly strong" and surprisingly light, might keep the rifle from being heavy as a boat anchor, but that much box elder might look too gaudy.

I signed into CMT earlier and saw there was a TGO tab there now.  Gettin pretty excited to place my order and build this thing.

I keep getting worried that I've missed something, the suspense is killing me! I guess it will happen when it happens huh

They have the TGO Products but they have all been "Out of stock" since they were added. I am assuming they are either making them or waiting to get the ducks in a row. 

 

Has anyone heard about a east tn FFL?

They are hoping to have everyone their items before Christmas, so it sounds like they will be making these for quite a while. 

As far as FFLs, this is the latest info I've received.
 

1. Note, we've got two in middle Tennessee and one in Oak Ridge identified, we need a few more in other areas of the state.

Just ordered my upper and lower.  Yipee!!  If anyone else around Franklin is using the Saddle Shop, I asked Mike to send them his FFL already.

Are you talking about a regular lower or the TGO lower? I checked earlier and didnt see TGO lowers available yet.

[Hozzie]

TGO, they just opened it up.  I must have hit it just right when checking.  I also just got an email from CMT announcing it was open about 5 minutes after I ordered.

Same. Going to wait a few days to see if we can get a Chattanooga FFL on there. crossing fingers.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

It wouldn't let me check out.

You can pay the extra $11 and send it wherever you want.  It would cost me more than that in gas to go to any of the others.

Me either...

 

I just called. I think it is not letting something "back ordered" get checked out.

 

I've called and their web guy is at lunch and will address it in an hour or so when he gets back.

 

In the meantime, how long before we crash their phone system?

 

:rofl:

[mikegideon]

Just placed my order. Smooth. Follow the directions in the email if you're having problems. You gotta select an FFL option before the transaction will process. As with all my lower purchases, mine is going to D&T.

You can have it sent to any FFL for 11 clams extra.
