Just found out Spike's has new rail systems coming. Between that and the billet uppers and lowers being ramped up right now I'm stuck holding off to see how they come out looking. It'll be 2-3 weeks before production samples are back and then another 2 weeks for availability after the samples are QA'd.
But hey, at least this means my wallet gets a break for a month. It would just be stupid to finish a build and then want to replace half the large (read: expensive) parts.

Pretty much. I'll probably still end up at the Lakeland show though for some uppers and BCG's. I'll hold off on LPK's until my next trip to Spike's. And barrels won't be until after I have a (new) final decision on rails... because, you know, they have to match and stuff. =)
If I decide to get some billet pieces I may sell off a couple of these lowers also.

The MBUS should be the same price you saw at the FTL show. You're looking for just the upper receiver without barrel correct? They currently have RRA 9mm upper receivers in-stock until their own new model is ready from the machine shop - yea, they have a new one of those coming too. The RRA 9mm upper assembly is 150$, I can try to get one for 125$ at the show if I can get AJ or Scott to throw one in the van for the trip.
If they are the same price on the MBUS I'll grab a couple sets and send you one.
