UPDATE: These are now available!
After many years of attempting to put this together it's looking like this may finally happen! If everything goes according to plan we should soon have our first batch of AR15 stripped lowers engraved with the Northwest Firearms logo (seen in the top left corner of the site).
We put together this poll to see if we could get a rough estimate on how many of you are interested in one of these, as well as what you're willing to pay.
These will be engraved and sold by one of our local Supporting Vendors, NW Custom Firearms. Personally, I've never liked dealing with group buys, pre-orders, multi-party transactions, etc, so I'm financing this upfront on my personal CC's to make life easy for everyone. These will be in-stock and on-hand at their shop, so the buying experience will be the same as any other firearm transaction.
Their shop is located in Vancouver, WA, where local pickup and transfer is available to WA residents. Residents of other states and those who don't live nearby may have their lower shipped to their preferred FFL for the actual cost of shipping ($5-$10). Tax is (unfortunately) additional, though it will be waived for Oregon buyers.
I wish there was more room in these, but to be honest I was lucky to even find them in stock. If we set the price at $100 we'll make about $9/each, but it'll be worth it to finally have these in hand (after years of talk!). Whichever sale price we set will cover the cost of purchasing the lower receivers, the cost of having them engraved locally, 3% to cover CC fees (cash is preferred), and a small fee for Jon's trouble (he's doing this at very close to cost). The remainder will be used in the same way we use our member donations, to pay for day to day operations such as running the site, organizing clean-ups, etc.
We will initially limit purchases to 1 per member due to the limited number I'm able to finance at one time, and also because we want to retain a handful of these for our giveaways.
We will be using standard stripped lowers from Anderson Manufacturing for price and availability. These things are getting scarce again!
Here's a (poor) example of what it should look like. The logo won't be two tone like in this photo, my Photoshop skills just aren't very good.
Thanks go to @Diamondback for getting the ball rolling by starting this thread on the topic.
If you guys have any other questions or comments please don't hesitate to ask!
Cheers,
Joe Link
