US Made Raw 80% AR-15 Lowers for $79
Published: September 26th, 2013
Yesterday I wrote about Chinese companies exporting 80% AR-15 lower receivers for $50. I just got an email from Shadow Ops Weaponry advertising their 80% raw/uncoated uppers for $79. Why import and pay all that shipping when you can buy them locally for only a few dollars more? The company sells an 80% lower receiver and a raw upper combo for $149.
Raw upper ready for Cerakoting.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

you can find them on Rocket hub for less then that and they are anodized to boot
The raw aluminum upper costs $10 /more/ than the anodized upper I bought from AIM Surplus about a month ago? $4 more than the anodized uppers currently available from Midway. I guess sometimes less really is more.
