Anyone else started their black friday AR parts shopping yet?

Just ordered two AO Precision BCG’s and a few standard charging handles to finish a few builds up. Nothing fancy - just plain jane milspec parts but did get an ok price. $193.80 total. No tax and free shipping! :slight_smile:

Only lacking a single A2 flash hider, an Aero carry handle rear sight (may get 2 of those), and a pair of carbine gas tubes and those uppers are a done deal for me!

You guys finding any good black friday sales? :slight_smile:

It’s a toughie. I want to finish a build, but not accidentally start another one.

The main thing I want won’t go on sale until the 25th.

I’ve got whatever random things I need or want in carts at various vendors waiting on sales to start or change.
Really not a lot, I already have more than I need. More soft goods for belt and chest rig, actually. Took a Grey Ghost lower out of my cart at Primary Arms, because “not another extra.”
The only guns I actually am considering are a) PDP with FDE slide (and I’d just sell the uppers I only want the frame) and b) an MKE AP5-P.
I already have extra BCG’s, sights, slings, charging handles, handguards, barrels, small parts, etc.
I’m looking forward to doing more shooting than buying. A move across the country helped that possibility.

I’ve been watching the prices of ammo drop and want to replace what I’ve shot in the last couple years.

Idk if Black Friday sales will help with ammo. But good 5.56 is back to .45 cents a piece and I’m tempted. Between inflation and material costs I’m not sure it’s going back to 30 cents again.

The thought of buying anything AR is foreign to me these days. There’s one barrel I’d like to get, but even if given it for free, I wouldn’t feel like doing the changeout.

Gunpowder at a non-absurd price, on the other hand, would make me happy.

Not going to deny it, But I bought a PSA rifle kit. going to make it a coyote hunting rifle out of it, now I am looking for a lower to go on sale.

Funny you say that as most of the stuff I am ‘finishing’ now was originally intended to just be ‘spare’ parts. :frowning:

Now they are spare complete uppers. :frowning:

Agree.

Waiting to see if I can get better than $260 shipped for a 12.5" Rosco Bloodline Sauce Pack.

I’ve been picking up ammo whenever I see a good sale, mostly 9mm and 300BLK. I’ve nabbed an upper here, LPK or BCG there. Right now PSA has a NiB Toolcraft BCG for $79.99 and that’s a hard deal to pass up, especially when they also have Speer 124gr JHP at .50 a round and up to $50 mail in rebate which makes up to 200 rounds a quarter each.

Yeah, starting to peruse some sites that have sent emails with black Friday deals. MWI is having a 20% off sale that I’ll be getting in on

I was going to build a .308, but I was in the Harley Davidson shop a couple days ago and bought a $35k tee shirt and got a free bike.

I won’t be building much for several months while I refill my wallet

Geiselle Black Friday deal is pending in their site, but I really don’t need anything at this time, unless a Super Duty really drops in price…lol

I should have bought one a few years ago when Pappabear got his.

Not a single link posted… you guys are slacking!

www.defensivemechanisms.com has 25% with no code needed. Grabbed a holster tourniquet mount and a grippy inner belt. They have other cool stuff, that’s just what I wanted.

www.ApeDefense.com has a 10% off code. The Flatline Fiber dump pouch is a cool design. Their sling also looks good.

“Blemished” Geissele triggers for $158.

I bought a Microbest Chrome AR15 BCG from AR15Discounts.com to have as a spare. They had a early Black Friday discount sale.

Was not trying to seem like a shill for any particular place is my excuse.

Got my stuff at AR15discounts.com

(going to shill for them now)

shilled. DEFINITIONS1. to try to persuade other people to buy something or support someone, usually without declaring a personal interest. shill for: They pay academics and scientists to shill for their companies.

Good place to do business in my experiences with them. Maybe 7 to 10 purchases over the last 5 years or so? Never any problems.

Order before this one for the carriers was for a few tools. A cheap order that did not qualify for any sort of discounts or free shipping. Was a button for a little customer service chat box thing so I clicked it… Told / typed in the chat box thing that I was ready to check out but was wondering it they had any sort of coupon codes available. Got a 10% off code back in less than a minute. Their price was the lowest I could find online anywhere for those particular brand name tools BEFORE the goofy code and the 10% off. That made an already good deal an awesome deal! :slight_smile:

More than a few times on orders in the past found short handwritten ‘thank you for the purchase’ notes somewhere in the boxes. Tells me somebody probably actually checked the box before closing it up and sending it out.

Asked them for some stickers this last order.
