Yeah I totally have the "buy now" mentality. It makes sense to me. After I bought my first rifle, of course, I fell in love with the sport. I felt the desire to purchase another one really quickly (sorta like tattoos). So, why not buy a handful of lowers now as a "just-in-case" for the future. Hell I've seen them as low as 39.99 for an Anderson.
Always a good idea to keep a few spare lowers around, but AR spare parts do have an uncanny ability to turn into complete guns! You find yourself scouring classifieds for this part and that part and pretty soon those virgin lowers are now complete rifles.
