That’s what I mean. The blem lowers have gone up $20, and you can no longer add the BCG and CH for $135. Buying the BCG and CH separately is about $163. So total you’re paying about $50 more now. Still a good deal, but I’m glad I bought mine when I did.
I too thought that a decent 1st tier AR would cost me under $1000. It can if you dont get what you want. If it is a KISS, then yes, but then ammo, mags, accessories, etc add up fast. My BRD has gone from $600 to around $2k. And I still want more optics.
Just realize that what you spend on an AR, does not equate to that is all you will spend. I read somewhere that BRD is like barbies for men. Always new stuff to try out.
