i've done that but as mentioned 10-20% above spot doesn't appeal to me then when i sell it's 10% below spot.

Silver lower would be bad ass!!!!!! Best of bolth worlds guns and P-metals.
The cheapist I can find eagles locally is 3$ over. That is what I get 90% of the time.
Who said anything about selling? http://www.coin-rare.com/silver-bars-1oz.aspx These are $1 over spot for a single ounce ingot....Dependent upon quantity, weight, payment method and shipping, they can be another couple dollars higher per ounce, but I hate to tell you, you won't be finding any from dealers/websites for less than a couple bucks over spot... if you do, please inform me. 2-3 over spot is the norm in my experience.
Weight of a stripped lower is roughly 9oz... $270 in silver, can probably retail for $500 as serialized collectible.
Easily. I bet if you put one unique one out on gunbroker to whet the whistle of the public, it would sell for at least 5x that. Imagine, the very first solid silver stripped lower at auction? Did you see the AR10 that went for over $136,000? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=322196026
I think regular lowers are going for that now! lol... Keep in mind it would have to be billet, which equals waste. Of course the shavings could be recycled but I am thinking it would cost more than $500 retail.... Could be wrong- I'll pass it along to the machinist when I get some time.
