Nice. Do you have the group buy link? I've been waiting for the CMMG 308 lowers.

I thought I saw $375.
Why are the .308 versions so much more than .223. Sure a bit heavier material, but that much?

You're probably comparing a billet lower in .308 made by the handful that takes many hours of machine time, to a forged lower in .223 made by the thousands that barely takes many minutes of machine time. The (obscene) amount of extra machine time is the entire reason behind the extra cost.
FWIW, the Armalite AR10 forged lower MSRP is $227; their AR15 forged lower is $159.

I'd be all over them if they used G3 mags. Making them to use hard-to-get and expensive mags pretty much makes them a waste, IMO.
I guess I'm glad my long range fetish is satisfied by my bolty for the time being.

Nope, I'm not that good. But the guy who's making those is only 20-30 minutes from me; in fact, he and I buy aluminum scrap from the same place. Seems like a good guy from when I've talked to him.
