Ok, so I bought this: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=263114807and I picked it up today - it far exceeds it's value! This unit is very well made, the stock has very minimal wobble, and the pull is smootha and about 5-6pounds I think! Just a heads up that this is a wonderful deal, if you too are looking!

I have already stripped the original stuff off to go to MOE furniture, but it is virtually the same as the Magpul MOE, color-wise. I will post pics, but it will be next week.

I have this and a PlumCrazy, I am a PC proponent, and while the PC has a slightlylighter/better trigger, but not too much. i think i may begrudgily admit that this is preferred of the two!

I have purchased 2 of these SA lowers from Karri - she is first class and so are the lowers. They are manufactured by aero precision, which is a top producer of lowers in this industry. Their mark is the keyhole. They manufacture lowers for lots of "manufacturers".

Wonder if they offer them in black or dark earth for the same price? Work won't let me get on GB so I'll have to check it out, but last I saw the black was a little higher ($20-30).

Just placed my order last night. This will be my first AR and I'm using this complete lower with a Surplus Arms and Ammo upper with Black Hole Weaponry barrel.

I saw that upper/barrel combo and wished I had seen it before I bought my DSA upper, or I would have done so. they have an assembled upper w/18" stripped barrel for $210!

I'm in the Air Force and carried and shot M-4's quite a bit. I just don't understand why they are so expensive. For the money you could get a high polish blued finish, nice walnut stocked bolt action. Can someone enlighten me?

I actually found them on Gunbroker.
blairvt - they are priced that because they bring that in the market place, plain and simple.

I'm thinking of making the trip to Columbia to get a Palmetta State Arms one. They seem to be reasonably priced.

Anyone talked to or ordered one of these lowers from Karri's Guns? I ordered and paid the the 11th (Sunday) and included the contact info for my FFL. I emailed Tuesday to make sure that everything was good to go and they said they hadn't received a copy of my FFL holders license (even though all they had to do was pick up the phone and call them for it). They did not mention that they needed a copy of the FFL after I won the auction and contacted them with the name, number and address of my FFL. I emailed them a copy on Tuesday 12/13 and now I can't get in touch with anyone there over the last couple of days via email or phone. I know things come up and all, but if you have a business, it's your responsibility to make sure the customer is taken care of.
Right now I have paid for this lower and nothing to show, nor do I know when it's shipping out. The message on Karri's Guns phone says they will be at a gunshow and unavailable from 12/16-12/19.
I'll post an update if I get a call or email back. As of now I am not too happy with the lack of communication on their end.

Well another update. Due to the delay in getting my order out from Karri's Guns and USPS running behInd, I won't have this before the holiday. My suggestion for anyone wanting to order from Karri's is to make sure you contac them by phone before placing your order. I ordered and paid on a Sunday night and my lower wasn't shipped until the following Tuesday a week. I place the blame for it not arriving before Christmas solely on the slow handling time from Karri.
Live and learn i suppose but I won't be doing anymore business with them.
