Virtual Swap Meet

The internet is a funny place.

I posted a picture of Kaylee on Arfcom.

Some random guy there asks who made my C7 upper.  I tell him and he laments that there aren't any in stock anywhere.

I reply that I'd swap for a flat-top.  He doesn't have one.

I'm chatting with a friend online and he's selling everything he owns to get a machine shop set up in his garage.  I mention the story and he happens to have a couple spare flat-top uppers.

I message the arfcom guy and he agrees to buy my C7 for what my friend is charging for a flat-top, including the shipping.  A few minutes on PayPal and the deeds are done.

Kaylee is modernized.  Some dude on Arfcom is retrofied.  My friend has some extra cash.

Everyone wins!
