Erin got burned.
First off, it's not surprising.
Dammit.
Being recriminating doesn't really help.
So where does one purchase an AR upper without breaking the bank?
My first suggestion would be J&T Distributing. They're the parts side of Doublestar. (And they beat RGuns price on what Erin didn't get by $100.) They are backordered like everyone else, but they are communicating on their Arfcom industry page and there is a distinct lack of torches and pitchforks about them.
You could troll the gun shows, but you're stuck with whatever configuration they have on the table and odds are you're paying about $150 more than the internet on average and there's damn little chance of them making right on things if there's a problem.
If you have tools there are other options, but it's saving pennies if you want a configuration they sell already made.
