    Should I have paid $100 too much to get a 24" AA upper today?

    Rick You have to weigh the cost of not buying right away. How much does the shipping cost? How long is the wait? Can I endure the wait? How much extra alcohol expense will I incur with the wait? The other thing to remember when supply is tight the local guys often react and push their prices up, knowing someone will buy it rather than waste their money on alcohol.

    I have another issue in being worried about showing favorites in my Grendel children. My 16" upper should be ready by Friday. If I buy this 20" now, I'd have two new Grendels and may show favoritism to one - offending the other.

    Rick Don't worry about it. It is natural to favor one over the other. Just think how the favoritism will help build character in the other. That way you will have one rifle you really like and one with strong character and driven to be better. You are a lucky man, sir.

    Well, I couldn't stand it any long. Ordered a 24" upper from JSE on Friday (4/20) and got it yesterday (4/25)
