It seems to me that 80% lowers have never been a bargain. Yeah they’re affordable, but at no point have I ever seen one priced lower than a factory finished one. In my opinion, they’re priced high because hobbyists will pay to indulge their hobby, and some people (like me) would like to have an entirely off the books AR. You pay extra for those things....that, and the economies of manufacturing scale.

Re: AR15 Build from 80% lower
I have a pretty nice 5.56/.308 jig kit, but haven’t used it yet. The main reason why not is simply that, up til now, I could buy a complete stripped lower for less than a 80% lower. But that may change soon.
