Amazing price. Chrome lined barrel too. I bought one of their uppers in 2013, just the upper -no lower but with charging handle and BCG, and I paid the same.
Have dealt with this before. It's good and bad. Good in the way that some porch pirate can't just grab it. Bad cause it's a hassle. Basically pick a local gun store you trust. They'll ship it to them. They'll call when they get it. It's usually a nominal fee. I think the most I paid was $25.

It's there now RMGoatBalls. BTW, correct: not a chrome lined barrel. I misread that: "8620 steel M-16 profile carrier is chrome lined and phosphate coated."
BTW, in 2013, I paid $14 for shipping (which was a great price), this complete AR-15 is apparently no cost for shipping, it let me put one in a cart and said $0.00 shipping.
Crackinjokes, the FFA is not a retailer, it is a party which has a Federal Firearm License. My gun range has one on site, as do many Pawn Shops, in addition to gun stores. There is almost always a nominal fee. The FFL handles the paperwork and a criminal check with the cops. Around here, $25 is the norm. You can pay more, and you can pay less (say your next door neighbor has his FFL and likes you). Shop around.

So it must go to a retailer who will mark it up?

Find a local pawn shop with an FFL. They often have the lowest transfer and background check fees.

You couldn't even buy the cheapest AR-15 in the 90's for $400. That's not something I would ever pass up.
